Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT

3:13 PM — October 9th, 6:00 PM

ESFSLC The remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will merge with a fall-like storm system over the western United States, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall and a resulting threat of flooding. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected, locally in excess of 3 inches, particularly across south aspects of southern Utah mountains, between late Saturday and Monday morning. Expect many area waterways including streams, rivers, normally dry washes, creeks, and slot canyons to have rising, fast flows by Sunday evening. Current forecasts do not bring any rivers to flood stage, but this will be monitored as the fine details of heavy rain bands become more confident. Those with activities near rivers, streams, creeks and recent burn scars should closely monitor the forecast over the next several days. Those with outdoor plans Sunday onward that include any travel near waterways across Utah should consider alternate plans. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible through at least Wednesday. While the rainfall rates with these additional rounds of precipitation will generally be lower, areas that receive significant precipitation during the weekend will be extra sensitive to any additional rainfall.

About

Enterprise Designated Dispersed Camp Area is located within the Dixie National Forest near Enterprise Reservoir in Washington County, Utah. This primitive camping area sits in a pinyon-juniper forest surrounded by distinctive volcanic tuff rock formations. The reservoir area is popular for fishing, boating, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Unlike typical dispersed camping where you can camp anywhere, this area restricts camping to designated sites only, identified by tent symbols with numbers. This restriction exists to protect the soil, water, and vegetation resources from overuse around the Upper Enterprise Reservoir. The restriction applies to National Forest System lands on the south side of Upper Enterprise Reservoir, around Honeycomb Rocks Campground, and along NFSR 288 and northern portions of NFSR 003. As a dispersed camping area, no services or amenities are provided. Campers must be fully self-sufficient, bringing their own water and packing out all trash and waste. Campfires are permitted when fire restrictions are not in effect, but campers must ensure fires are completely extinguished and cool to the touch before leaving.

Directions

From Enterprise, Utah, head west on UT-219 for approximately 13 miles. Turn left onto Forest Road 005 and continue for about 5 miles to reach the designated dispersed camping area near Enterprise Reservoir.
