Hydrologic Outlook issued October 29 at 10:53AM 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 Group Site sits along the northwestern edge of Creek Pasture Campground in Utah's Indian Creek corridor, a broad valley bracketed by sandstone cliffs of Harts Point and Bridger Jack Mesa. The site is positioned approximately 7.5 miles southeast of the Canyonlands National Park Needles District visitor center and 14.5 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock, making it an ideal base for exploring both the national park and Bears Ears National Monument. The Indian Creek area has gained international recognition for its extraordinary natural beauty and diverse recreational opportunities including hiking, biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, and cultural resource viewing. The area's towering sandstone cliffs and spires attract world-class climbers, while its panoramic vistas and rolling grasslands have made it a popular filming location for commercials and major motion pictures. This is a primitive camping area with limited services. Visitors should bring all water and supplies, pack out all trash and human waste, and bring their own firewood as wood collection is prohibited. Summer thunderstorms can cause flash flooding, and gusty winds require secure tent setups.
Directions
Turn west off US 191 onto Highway 211 and travel approximately 27 miles. The turnoff to the campground is on the north side of the highway, approximately 7.5 miles southeast of the Canyonlands National Park visitor center and 14.5 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock. The group site is on the north end of the campground.
