Hydrologic Outlook issued October 28 at 2:42PM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT Low pressure begins to dig southward from the PACNW on Friday, tapping into a fetch of Pacific moisture that will evolve into an atmospheric river streaming into the Desert Southwest this weekend. Showers and thunderstorms develop on Friday and Saturday across the region. Lighter rainfall totals Friday and Saturday will reflect, initially lower, moisture. However, a few thunderstorms could produce impactful downpours on saturated soils left over from last weekend's historic rainfall. Deeper moisture develops Saturday night and early Sunday. This is expected to produce heavier and more widespread rainfall across southeast UT and southwest CO Sunday and Monday, mostly below 10000 feet. While rivers are forecast to remain below action stage, a growing concern lies in the potential for runoff around saturated hillsides in the region. This could produce rock, mud, and debris flows onto roadways, as well as flash flood prone burn scars, washes, slot canyons, and arroyos. Early estimates predict an area of 1 to 2 inches of new rainfall for portions of southeast UT and southwest CO. This is a preliminary forecast that hinges on slight shifts in a strong moisture plume impacting the region. It also attempts to capture the most statistically likely outcome, despite stronger and weaker outlier predictions. Outdoor enthusiasts, motorists, and residents of recent flood impacted areas are encouraged to remain abreast of the developing forecast in the coming days.
About
Creek Pasture Campground is a primitive campground located in the Indian Creek unit of Bears Ears National Monument, approximately 5 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park and 15 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock. The single-loop campground provides 32 individual sites, each accommodating up to 10 people and 2 vehicles. Sites feature picnic tables and fire rings, with vault toilets serving the area. There is no drinking water at the campground. The Indian Creek area has gained international recognition for its extraordinary rock climbing on Wingate Sandstone cliffs. Prominent features include Lavender Mesa, Bridger Jack Mesa, and North and South Six Shooter Peaks. Beyond climbing, visitors enjoy camping, cultural resource viewing, scenic photography, and OHV touring on designated routes. The campground is located along the banks of Indian Creek, which flows intermittently. Cottonwood trees line the creek and provide shade at some sites. A small sandstone cliff borders the west side of the campground. Services are minimal; campers should arrive prepared with water, firewood, and all supplies needed for a self-sufficient stay.
Directions
Turn west off U.S. Route 191 onto Utah State Route 211 and travel approximately 27.2 miles. Turn north onto County Road 2382. The campground is located 0.4 miles down the natural surface road.
