Hydrologic Outlook issued September 19 at 11:59AM MDT by NWS Riverton WY
ESFRIW Periods of showers and thunderstorms are expected across the northern half of Wyoming Saturday and Sunday as a wet weather system shifts east across the state. This weather system is funneling abundant tropical moisture into northern and eastern portions of the state with it's eastward progression. Given the high moisture content, many thunderstorms could feature heavy rainfall and possibly lead to localized flooding. Poor drainage areas, urban areas, and steep terrain will be the most susceptible locations for this isolated flooding. Many locations could see an additional 0.5" to 1.25" of rain through Sunday afternoon, with a majority of this rain falling quickly in thunderstorms. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around don't down!

About
Lakeview Campground occupies a forested setting of lodgepole pine and Douglas fir on the northern shore of Meadowlark Lake, about 50 miles east of Worland, Wyoming. The 325-acre lake is open to wake-less boating, making it well-suited for canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Anglers target rainbow, cutthroat, brown, and brook trout. The campground offers 19 sites across two loops: standard nonelectric sites in the LAKE loop and tent-only sites in the LOWR loop. Site #10 is a double site accommodating up to 16 people. Each site includes a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Vault toilets, drinking water, and trash collection are available. Firewood can be purchased from the campground host. The nearest dump station is 12 miles away at Powder River Pass. The Cloud Peak Skyway provides scenic driving, and numerous trails lead into the Cloud Peak Wilderness. High Park Lookout, a historic CCC-built fire lookout, is a short hike from the lake. West Tensleep Lake, 10 miles north, offers additional hiking and non-motorized boating. Deer Haven Lodge and Meadowlark Lodge are nearby for supplies and dining.
