Hydrologic Outlook issued July 20 at 10:32AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT Anomalous moisture has become established across portions of eastern Utah and western Colorado. Scattered thunderstorms capable of producing heavy rain are expected this afternoon and early evening. Rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour will be possible with the stronger storms. These rates could lead to flash flooding and debris flows especially over steep terrain and recent burn scars. Also, rain over the past several days has lead to saturated soils, which increase the chances for excessive runoff. As a reminder: Keep an eye on our forecasts through the end of the week and stay tuned for updated hydrology alerts if visiting or if you reside below vulnerable terrain to flash flooding and/or debris flows. Storms across the west develop quickly, leaving little room for lead time in flashy terrain.
About
Hal Canyon Campground is nestled along the Colorado River in the Big Bend area of the Highway 128 scenic corridor, one of several BLM-managed campgrounds providing riverside camping near Moab. The 11 individual sites and 2 walk-in tent sites offer views of the dramatic red rock canyon walls and the Colorado River below. Each individual site accommodates up to 10 people and 2 vehicles. This is a primitive campground with vault toilets but no potable water, hookups, dump station, or showers. Campers must bring all water and supplies. The campground operates on a first-come, first-serve basis with no advance reservations. Payment of $20 per night is made at the campground via cash or check only. The river here has dangerous undercurrents, and life jackets are required for entering the water. The campground is subject to a 14-night stay limit within any 30-day period. The location provides access to river activities and serves as a base for exploring the scenic Highway 128 corridor between Moab and Interstate 70.
Directions
From the junction of Highway 191 and Highway 128, drive east 6.6 miles along the Colorado River. The campground will be on the left.
