Hydrologic Outlook issued October 9 at 10:53AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT A strong low pressure system off the Pacific Coast will begin to draw in tropical moisture associated with Topical Storm Rachel this weekend. This strong southerly fetch will draw anomalously high moisture content across the Desert Southwest and into eastern Utah and western Colorado. The chance for widespread precipitation increases Saturday evening into Sunday. Total precipitation forecasts range from 1 to 3 inches across high terrain, with highest amounts favoring the Uintas, Tavaputs and the Southwest San Juan mountains. Embedded thunderstorms are also possible Sunday afternoon, increasing the threat for flash flooding across vulnerable terrain. While confidence in location and rainfall rates remain low at this time, the potential for rapidly rising rivers, streams, normally dry arroyos and slot canyons are possible Sunday through Monday. Please follow the evolving forecast, especially if your plans including recreating or commuting across eastern Utah and western Colorado Sunday onward. Also, keep in mind weather potential above your location and upstream, particularly for those who reside below sensitive terrain like recent burn scars.
About
Dewey Bridge Campground is a Bureau of Land Management recreation site positioned along the scenic Colorado River in San Juan County, Utah. Located 29 miles east of Moab on Highway 128, the campground provides a quieter alternative to busier Moab-area sites while still offering easy access to the region's iconic red rock landscapes. Sites are tucked among cottonwood trees along the riverbank, with views across to the dramatic Entrada Bluffs sandstone formations. The campground accommodates tents and small RVs across 7-8 individual sites available on a first-come, first-served basis, plus two group sites reservable through Recreation.gov. Each site includes a fire ring and picnic table. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water, hookups, or dump station. Campers must bring their own water and pack accordingly. The location offers river access for small boats and proximity to the ruins of the historic Dewey Bridge. Kokopelli's Trail, a popular multi-use route connecting Loma, Colorado to Moab, passes nearby. The Colorado River here has dangerous undercurrents; life jackets are required for water entry. A 14-night stay limit applies within any 30-day period.
Directions
From the junction of Highway 191 and Highway 128 in Moab, drive east 29 miles along the Colorado River on Highway 128. The campground is on the left.
