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
Buckboard Crossing Campground is located on the far northwest shore of Flaming Gorge Reservoir within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area at an elevation of 6,100 feet. The campground offers 66 single-family campsites in a high desert landscape with sagebrush and scattered trees providing minimal natural shade. Most sites feature shade cabanas, picnic tables, and fire rings, though some have BBQ grills instead of fire rings. The campground provides flush restrooms, hot showers (available to non-campers for a fee), potable water, and a dump station. Several sites in Loop A offer 50-amp electrical hookups. Sites range from standard non-electric to standard electric, with some pull-through sites available for larger RVs up to 45 feet. Check-in is at 2 PM and checkout is by 11 AM. The adjacent Buckboard Marina offers boat rentals, fuel, slips, fishing licenses, bait, and groceries. A boat ramp and fish cleaning station are conveniently located nearby. Flaming Gorge Dam, with guided tours of the hydroelectric plant and a visitor center featuring area history exhibits, is a popular nearby attraction.
