Hydrologic Outlook issued October 9 at 10:53AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT A strong low pressure system off the Pacific Coast will begin to draw in tropical moisture associated with Topical Storm Rachel this weekend. This strong southerly fetch will draw anomalously high moisture content across the Desert Southwest and into eastern Utah and western Colorado. The chance for widespread precipitation increases Saturday evening into Sunday. Total precipitation forecasts range from 1 to 3 inches across high terrain, with highest amounts favoring the Uintas, Tavaputs and the Southwest San Juan mountains. Embedded thunderstorms are also possible Sunday afternoon, increasing the threat for flash flooding across vulnerable terrain. While confidence in location and rainfall rates remain low at this time, the potential for rapidly rising rivers, streams, normally dry arroyos and slot canyons are possible Sunday through Monday. Please follow the evolving forecast, especially if your plans including recreating or commuting across eastern Utah and western Colorado Sunday onward. Also, keep in mind weather potential above your location and upstream, particularly for those who reside below sensitive terrain like recent burn scars.
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.
