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

Intake Campground sits at 6,320 feet in South Willow Canyon, part of the rugged Stansbury Range southwest of Grantsville, Utah. The remote desert canyon is forested with oak, maple, and juniper trees providing partial shade, while Willow Creek flows through the site. The campground serves as a jumping-off point for exploring the Deseret Peak Wilderness via the Stansbury Front Trail and Medina Flat Trail, both of which begin across the road from the campground entrance. The campground offers 4-5 single sites with vault toilets and picnic tables. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. Sites are primarily first-come-first-served with limited reservations available through Recreation.gov. The gravel access road is not recommended for trailers. A 7-day stay limit applies. South Willow Canyon Road is a scenic 7.1-mile drive with the last 4 miles unpaved. The area is known for wildlife viewing and the trout fishing opportunities in Willow Creek. Snow typically covers the upper canyon from November through mid-June.

Directions

From Grantsville, Utah, take South Willow Canyon Road southwest. The campground is located 1.4 miles up from the National Forest boundary. The last portion of the road is gravel and not recommended for trailers.
