Hydrologic Outlook issued September 18 at 10:20AM MDT by NWS Riverton WY
ESFRIW A wet weather system will support periods of showers and thunderstorms across Wyoming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This weather system is funneling abundant tropical moisture into the state. Given this anomalously high moisture, many thunderstorms will feature heavy rainfall, possibly leading 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 rainfall totals anywhere between 0.75" to 1.75" 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
Lizard Creek Campground occupies a scenic position on Fonda Point along Jackson Lake's northern shore in Grand Teton National Park. The 60 campsites are nestled within a lodgepole pine and spruce forest, offering a quieter, more remote experience than other park campgrounds. The location provides direct lake access for trout fishing, kayaking, and canoeing, though no boat ramp exists on-site. Signal Mountain Lodge, located further south, offers boat rentals and ramp access. The campground features three comfort stations with flush toilets and potable water dispersed throughout. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and bear-proof food storage box. No hookups or dump station are available. Maximum vehicle length is 25 feet, and sites accommodate up to 6 occupants. Showers and laundry facilities are available at Colter Bay Village, 8 miles south. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with frequent sightings of black bears, grizzly bears, mule deer, red fox, bald eagles, and osprey. Strict food storage regulations are enforced. The campground's northern location makes it one of the last to open and first to close each season due to snow conditions.
