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

Mt. Timpanogos Campground is nestled at 7,600 feet in a shady forest of aspen, maple, and pine trees along Utah's Alpine Loop Scenic Byway. The campground borders the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness Area and offers stunning views of the surrounding Wasatch Range peaks through the trees. Wildlife sightings and summer wildflowers are common, and fall foliage draws visitors for the spectacular autumn color show. The 27 family campsites feature picnic tables and campfire rings, with paved roads and spurs throughout. Flush restrooms are available, though water availability can vary seasonally. The campground operates as a reservable facility through Recreation.gov, with first-come-first-served sites also available. Hiking is the primary draw, with the Aspen Grove Trail to the summit of Mount Timpanogos beginning directly across the road. Nearby attractions include Stewart Falls, Cascade Springs, Timpanogos Cave National Monument, Deer Creek Reservoir, and Tibble Fork Reservoir. The 20-mile Alpine Loop Scenic Byway itself passes through alpine canyons, mountain meadows, and forests with breathtaking mountain views.
