Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
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
Flat Canyon Campground is a high-elevation destination at 8,800 feet on Utah's Wasatch Plateau within the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The campground provides easy paved access from Highway 264 and serves as a base for fishing, boating, hiking, and scenic driving in the area. An angler's trail leads directly from the campground down to Boulger Reservoir, while Electric Lake sits approximately one mile away for additional boating and fishing opportunities. The campground features 12 individual campsites and one group site accommodating up to 50 people. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring, and vault toilets are provided. However, there is no potable water on-site, and campers must bring their own supply. There is no garbage service, making this a pack-it-in, pack-it-out facility. Hazardous tree removal has opened up the canopy significantly, reducing shade at many sites. Several large spruce trees remain, and summer wildflowers are abundant. ATVs are prohibited on campground roads, and horses are not allowed in the campground. Pets are welcome but must be kept leashed.
Directions
From Fairview, Utah, travel east on State Highway 31 to State Highway 264, then continue east on Highway 264 for four miles.
