Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT

October 8th, 3:13 PM — 6:00 PM

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

Hoop Lake Campground is a seasonal Forest Service campground located at 9,000 feet elevation in the Uinta Mountains within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The 44-site campground sits on the shores of Hoop Lake and draws visitors for fishing, boating, hiking, and horseback riding. Easy access to Hoop Lake Trailhead provides entry to the High Uintas Wilderness. The timbered campground offers standard nonelectric sites, each equipped with a fire ring and picnic table. Vault toilets are available during the open season. There is no potable water on-site, so campers must bring all water they need. The area is designated bear country, and all food and trash must be stored securely. Nearby Beaver Meadow Reservoir offers additional fishing opportunities. Wildlife viewing is excellent, with elk, deer, moose, beaver, and various bird species frequenting the area.
