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

Meeks Cabin Campground occupies a scenic single-loop layout on the shores of Meeks Cabin Reservoir, straddling the Utah-Wyoming border at 8,700 feet in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The 470-acre reservoir supports fishing and motorized/non-motorized boating, with lake access from the campground and a boat ramp near the dam. The campground offers 24 single sites and 5 double sites, all first-come, first-served with no advance reservations available. Sites vary in size, with some accommodating vehicles up to 65 feet. Pine and aspen provide shade throughout the loop. Vault toilets are available during the operating season, but potable water is not available and campers must bring their own supply. Popular activities include fishing at the reservoir, wildlife viewing, and mountain biking on nearby trails. A 14-day stay limit applies, and quiet hours are enforced from 10 PM to 7 AM. ATVs are not permitted on the highway unless licensed.
