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 Group Sites are located along the Colorado River in a scenic red rock canyon, managed by the BLM Moab Field Office. The area provides a quieter alternative to the busier campgrounds closer to Moab while still offering easy access to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks via State Route 128. The three group sites (A, B, and C) each accommodate up to 25 people and include fire rings, picnic tables, vault toilets, and shade shelters. An adjacent boat ramp serves as a popular put-in or take-out point for rafting trips on the Colorado and Dolores Rivers. The surrounding area offers excellent four-wheel drive routes and mountain biking trails. This is a primitive camping area with no potable water, dump stations, or electric hookups. Campers must bring all water supplies and pack out trash. The superb dark skies make this an excellent stargazing destination.
Directions
From Moab, drive north to the junction with Highway 128. Turn right and travel 29 miles along the river road. The group sites are to your right as you enter the Dewey Bridge campground.
