Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
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
Jordanelle State Park encompasses three recreation areas along the Jordanelle Reservoir in Utah's Wasatch County. The primary camping facilities are located at Hailstone, which features 103 RV sites with partial hookups providing 30-amp electrical service and water connections. Each site includes a fire pit with BBQ grill and picnic table. The McHenry campground offers four loops exclusively for tent camping, with water spigots throughout and restroom facilities with showers. For a more remote experience, Phostan Bay provides hike-in backpacking sites accessible via a half-mile to one-mile walk, with a mix of reservable and first-come-first-served options. The Keetley group campsite accommodates up to 75 people with four tent pads, a large pavilion, and four RV hookup sites. Five cabins sleeping 4-8 people and three cottages with full bathrooms and kitchenettes round out the lodging options, with some units being ADA accessible and pet-friendly. The reservoir offers excellent boating, fishing, and swimming. Anglers can pursue trout, bass, yellow perch, and wipers. All campgrounds share check-in at 3 PM and check-out at noon, with quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM.
