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
Gooseberry Creek Campground is nestled in a beautiful mountain valley on the Wasatch Plateau within the Manti-La Sal National Forest. At 8,500 feet elevation, the campground occupies an aspen-covered hillside dotted with mature fir trees. Some sites are sunny with little tree cover while others offer ample shade. Sagebrush, grasses, and summer wildflowers fill the scenic valley. Gooseberry Reservoir is visible from several campsites and offers excellent cutthroat and rainbow trout fishing as well as canoeing. The Great Western Trail passes near the campground, providing opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and ATV/OHV riding. The campground features vault toilets and potable water but operates as a pack-it-out facility with no trash collection. The campground has 10 individual first-come, first-served sites and one reservable group site with large picnic tables, serving tables, and a fire ring. Sites accommodate vehicles up to 30 feet on gravel back-in driveways. A well-maintained dirt road provides access suitable for cars and RVs.
