Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT

October 8th, 3:13 PM — 6:00 PM

ESFSLC The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3 inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning. Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways across Utah should consider alternate plans. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra sensitive to any additional rainfall.

About

Chute Group Campground is a single-site group camping area located in Huntington Canyon along Utah Highway 31, part of the Huntington Canyon National Scenic Byway. At approximately 7,800 feet elevation, the campground sits alongside Huntington Creek, a Blue Ribbon fishery known for brown, cutthroat, and rainbow trout. Large spruce trees provide shade around the edges of the site, though shade within the camping area itself is limited. The campground accommodates up to 50 people and 12 vehicles, with a large gravel parking area suitable for RVs of any size up to 40 feet. Amenities include picnic tables, serving tables, benches, fire rings, and Dutch oven stands. Accessible vault toilets are provided. No potable water is available at the campground; visitors must bring their own or obtain water at the nearby Stuart Guard Station. Popular activities include fishing in Huntington Creek, hiking on the nearby Left Fork of the Huntington National Recreation Trail and Fish Creek Trail, mountain biking, horseback riding, and scenic driving. The historic Stuart Guard Station Visitor Center is nearby, offering exhibits on 1930s ranger life and Civilian Conservation Corps projects.
