Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT

3:13 PM — October 9th, 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

Loop Campground is nestled in the Stansbury Range of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, approximately 4.5 miles up a gravel road from the forest boundary in South Willow Canyon. At 7,400 feet elevation, the campground offers partial shade from oak, maple, and juniper trees, with Willow Creek providing a scenic backdrop. The campground features 12 single sites and 1 double site, each with picnic tables. Vault restrooms are available, but there is no potable water so campers must pack in their own supply. This is bear country, and proper food storage is mandatory. The multi-use Stansbury Front Trail and Medina Flat Trail begin across from the campground entrance, offering direct access to the rugged Deseret Peak Wilderness. Willow Creek provides rainbow and brown trout fishing opportunities. The access road is gravel and not recommended for trailer use due to steep, narrow sections with potholes.

Directions

From Grantsville, Utah, head southwest into South Willow Canyon. The campground is located 4.5 miles up the canyon from the National Forest boundary on a gravel road. The road is steep and narrow with potholes; not recommended for trailers.
