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

Lower Meadows Campground is one of the most spacious campgrounds in the South Fork complex, with individual sites set far apart amid tall grass, cottonwoods, and willows along the South Fork Ogden River. At 5,300 feet elevation and just 9 miles from Huntsville, Utah, it offers easy access while maintaining a secluded feel. Moose and deer are frequent visitors. The campground provides vault toilets, potable water, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. This is a pack-it-in/pack-it-out facility with no trash service. The 23 sites include 17 single sites and 6 double sites suitable for groups up to 16 people. No hookups are available. Popular recreation includes fishing, swimming, and tubing on the South Fork Ogden River (life jacket required for tubing). Causey Reservoir, 4 miles east, offers canoeing, fishing, and access to hiking and biking trails. Highway 39 continues to Monte Cristo Summit for scenic mountain views, and abundant ATV and hiking trails are nearby.

Directions

From Ogden, Utah, travel east on 12th Street through Ogden Canyon. Continue on Highway 39 toward Monte Cristo. The campground is approximately 5-7 miles east of Huntsville on Highway 39. The entrance is shared with Upper Meadows; continue past the left turn, cross the bridge, and turn right at the top of the hill.
