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

Lewis M. Turner Campground is a small Forest Service campground located 22 miles northeast of Logan, Utah, at an elevation of 5,900 feet within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The 10 single sites are set back from the highway in a shaded forest of Engelmann spruce, white pines, and aspens. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. Flush restrooms are available during the open season. The area is renowned for its vivid summer wildflowers. From approximately mid-July through mid-August, a colorful profusion of geraniums, paintbrush, columbine, lupine, daisies, and mountain sunflowers blankets the meadows and campground. Hiking, biking, climbing, fishing, and hunting opportunities abound in the surrounding forest. Bear Lake, often called the Caribbean of the Rockies for its intense turquoise-blue water, is a popular nearby attraction offering boating, fishing, and water sports. The campground enforces a 7-day stay limit and requires all food and trash to be stored securely due to bear activity.
