Hydrologic Outlook issued September 19 at 11:59AM MDT by NWS Riverton WY
ESFRIW Periods of showers and thunderstorms are expected across the northern half of Wyoming Saturday and Sunday as a wet weather system shifts east across the state. This weather system is funneling abundant tropical moisture into northern and eastern portions of the state with it's eastward progression. Given the high moisture content, many thunderstorms could feature heavy rainfall and possibly lead to localized flooding. Poor drainage areas, urban areas, and steep terrain will be the most susceptible locations for this isolated flooding. Many locations could see an additional 0.5" to 1.25" of rain through Sunday afternoon, with a majority of this rain falling quickly in thunderstorms. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around don't down!
About
Bridge Bay Campground occupies a prime location on the western shore of Yellowstone Lake at an elevation of 7,800 feet. As one of the largest campgrounds in Yellowstone National Park, it offers over 400 regular campsites plus four group sites for larger parties. Each site includes a picnic table and fire grate. The campground features 16 restroom buildings with flush toilets and cold running water, dishwashing stations, an RV dump station, and recycling/refuse collection. The setting provides sweeping views of Yellowstone Lake and the Absaroka Range rising above the eastern shore. Bridge Bay Marina is adjacent to the campground, offering boat rentals, guided fishing trips, fuel, and scenic cruises. Lake Village, located 2 miles away, provides additional services including restaurants, lodging, a general store, post office, and medical clinic. The campground accommodates tents and RVs up to 40 feet combined length, though sites may not be level and larger rigs will find limited site availability. No hookups are available. Strict food storage regulations require all odorous items to be secured in hard-sided vehicles or bear boxes when not in use.
