Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will impact Utah this weekend bringing widespread rainfall totals ranging from 2-4". Some highly localized amounts to 6-8" are also possible, particularly across terrain-favored locations in southwestern Utah, the Book Cliffs, and Bear River Range. * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Western Millard and Juab Counties, Bear Lake and Bear River Valley, Cache Valley/Utah Portion, Eastern Box Elder County, Great Salt Lake Desert and Mountains, Northern Wasatch Front, Salt Lake Valley, Tooele and Rush Valleys, Utah Valley, Wasatch Back, Wasatch Mountains I-80 North, Wasatch Mountains South of I-80, Western Uinta Basin and Western Uinta Mountains. This includes recent burn scars such as Rocky Canyon. * WHEN...From late Saturday night through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and recent burn scars. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will move into northern Utah this weekend producing a prolonged rainfall event. In particular, moisture interacting with a frontal boundary across far northern Utah may yield locally heavier rainfall totals compared to other locations. As a result, areal flooding is expected across northern Utah this weekend. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About

Currant Creek Campground sits beside Currant Creek Reservoir at 8,000 feet elevation in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The campground offers approximately 100 sites across multiple loops, including single sites, double sites, group sites, and equestrian camping. Sites feature paved parking spurs, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills, with flush restrooms and drinking water throughout. A dump station serves RV campers, and a small camp store at the entrance provides firewood, ice, and basic supplies. The reservoir provides outstanding fishing for rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout, with an on-site boat ramp for motorized and non-motorized watercraft. An ADA-accessible fishing pier and playground are available. Numerous trails surround the area for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, including Currant Creek Trail which begins in D Loop. The campground is situated among aspen, fir, and lodgepole pine with partial shade, and nearly every site offers views of the reservoir and mountains. Deer and elk frequently visit, and summer wildflowers are abundant. The campground enforces a 7-day stay limit with 2-night minimums on weekends and 3-night minimums on holiday weekends. ATVs and OHVs are prohibited within the campground. Quiet hours run from 10pm to 6am. This is bear country, so proper food storage is required.
