Hydrologic Outlook issued September 19 at 11:59AM MDT by NWS Riverton WY
ESFRIW Periods of showers and thunderstorms are expected across the northern half of Wyoming Saturday and Sunday as a wet weather system shifts east across the state. This weather system is funneling abundant tropical moisture into northern and eastern portions of the state with it's eastward progression. Given the high moisture content, many thunderstorms could feature heavy rainfall and possibly lead to localized flooding. Poor drainage areas, urban areas, and steep terrain will be the most susceptible locations for this isolated flooding. Many locations could see an additional 0.5" to 1.25" of rain through Sunday afternoon, with a majority of this rain falling quickly in thunderstorms. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around don't down!
About
Five Springs Falls Campground sits at 6,520 feet elevation in the high desert foothills east of Lovell, Wyoming. The campground is divided into two loops with 19 total sites. The lower loop contains 9 sites with tent pads, fire rings, picnic tables, and a central vault toilet facility. These sites are designed for tent camping only, with the exception of the host site which can accommodate a small trailer. A water faucet near the host site serves all campers. The upper loop offers 10 additional sites with fire rings and tent pads, including several pull-through sites suitable for camp trailers. This loop also has its own central vault toilet and benches overlooking the surrounding mountain ranges. From the upper loop, trails connect to the Bighorn National Forest. The campground's main attraction is the short hike to the Five Springs Falls overlook, with benches along the trail. Wildlife in the area includes deer, elk, moose, black bear, and mountain lion. The access road is steep and narrow, making it unsuitable for RVs over 25 feet in length.

Travel 22 miles east on US Highway 14A from Lovell, Wyoming. Turn left at the Five Springs Falls Campground sign. Follow the steep, narrow access road for two miles to reach the lower loop. The road continues to the upper loop. Not suitable for RVs over 25 feet.
