Hydrologic Outlook issued October 9 at 10:53AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT A strong low pressure system off the Pacific Coast will begin to draw in tropical moisture associated with Topical Storm Rachel this weekend. This strong southerly fetch will draw anomalously high moisture content across the Desert Southwest and into eastern Utah and western Colorado. The chance for widespread precipitation increases Saturday evening into Sunday. Total precipitation forecasts range from 1 to 3 inches across high terrain, with highest amounts favoring the Uintas, Tavaputs and the Southwest San Juan mountains. Embedded thunderstorms are also possible Sunday afternoon, increasing the threat for flash flooding across vulnerable terrain. While confidence in location and rainfall rates remain low at this time, the potential for rapidly rising rivers, streams, normally dry arroyos and slot canyons are possible Sunday through Monday. Please follow the evolving forecast, especially if your plans including recreating or commuting across eastern Utah and western Colorado Sunday onward. Also, keep in mind weather potential above your location and upstream, particularly for those who reside below sensitive terrain like recent burn scars.

About
Masons Draw Campground sits at elevation along the La Sal Mountain Loop Road in Utah's Manti-La Sal National Forest, approximately 5 miles south of the Warner Lake turnoff and just past the Castle Valley Overlook. The campground provides access to the dramatic alpine scenery of the La Sal Mountains while remaining conveniently close to Moab's desert attractions. This basic Forest Service campground offers 5 first-come, first-served sites for $10 per night. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table, with vault toilets serving the campground. No potable water is available, so campers should arrive fully supplied. The campground operates seasonally, typically June through October, with access dependent on snow and road conditions along the La Sal Loop Road. The setting makes an excellent base for exploring the high country trails and enjoying cooler temperatures during the hot summer months when the Moab area below can exceed 100°F.
Directions
From Moab, go south on US 191 about 7 miles to the Ken's Lake/La Sal Mountain Loop Road turnoff and turn left. Turn right at the T-intersection less than a mile ahead and continue on La Sal Loop Road for approximately 18 miles, passing both Oowah Lake and Warner Lake campground turnoffs. Masons Draw Campground is about 5 miles past the Warner Lake turnoff on the right side, just after Castle Valley Overlook.
