Hydrologic Outlook issued October 29 at 10:53AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT Low pressure begins to dig southward from the PACNW on Friday, tapping into a fetch of Pacific moisture that will evolve into an atmospheric river streaming into the Desert Southwest this weekend. Showers and thunderstorms develop on Friday and Saturday across the region. Lighter rainfall totals Friday and Saturday will reflect, initially lower, moisture. However, a few thunderstorms could produce impactful downpours on saturated soils left over from last weekend's historic rainfall. Deeper moisture develops Saturday night and early Sunday. This is expected to produce heavier and more widespread rainfall across southeast UT and southwest CO Sunday and Monday, mostly below 10000 feet. While rivers are forecast to remain below action stage, a growing concern lies in the potential for runoff around saturated hillsides in the region. This could produce rock, mud, and debris flows onto roadways, as well as flash flood prone burn scars, washes, slot canyons, and arroyos. Early estimates predict an area of 1 to 2 inches of new rainfall for portions of southeast UT and southwest CO. This is a preliminary forecast that hinges on slight shifts in a strong moisture plume impacting the region. It also attempts to capture the most statistically likely outcome, despite stronger and weaker outlier predictions. Outdoor enthusiasts, motorists, and residents of recent flood impacted areas are encouraged to remain abreast of the developing forecast in the coming days.
About
Hatch Point Campground is a primitive BLM campground perched on a mesa top in the Canyon Rims Recreation Area, approximately 56 miles southwest of Moab. The campground features 10 individual sites, each equipped with a fire ring and picnic table, with a shared vault toilet serving the area. The remote and quiet setting makes it an excellent destination for stargazing and enjoying solitude away from the crowds. Access requires driving 32 miles south of Moab on Highway 191 to the Canyon Rims turnoff, then approximately 15 miles west on paved road before turning right onto a graveled road toward Anticline Overlook for the final 9 miles. Due to the gravel road access, conditions may vary seasonally. Sites operate on a first-come, first-served basis with a 14-night stay limit within any 30-day period. Campers should be prepared for gusty winds and summer thunderstorms. Generator use is permitted from 8am to 8pm, with quiet hours from 10pm to 6am.
Directions
Drive 32 miles south of Moab on Highway 191 to the Canyon Rims Recreation Area turnoff. Follow the paved road west for approximately 15 miles, then turn right onto the graveled road toward Anticline Overlook. Continue about 9 miles to the campground.
