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

Mount Timpanogos Campground is a small, forested campground situated at 7,600 feet elevation along the Alpine Loop Scenic Byway in the Wasatch Mountains. The campground lies directly adjacent to the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness Area, with the popular Aspen Grove Trail to the 11,752-foot summit of Mount Timpanogos starting across the road. The 14-mile roundtrip hike is one of the most popular alpine climbs in Utah. The campground contains 27 sites surrounded by dense aspen, maple, and fir trees, providing excellent shade throughout the day. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring on paved spurs. Flush toilets are available during the open season. There is no potable water on-site, so campers must bring all water needed. This is bear country, and proper food storage is required. The campground's location provides access to numerous attractions including Stewart Falls, Cascade Springs, Deer Creek Reservoir, Tibble Fork Reservoir, and Timpanogos Cave National Monument. State Route 92 has a 30-foot vehicle length restriction over the Alpine Loop, and trailers/RVs over 20 feet cannot safely maneuver into the campsites.
