Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 1:47PM MDT by NWS Riverton WY
ESFRIW The interaction between increasing tropical moisture and an approaching midlevel area of low pressure will bring widespread rain showers across a large portion of western Wyoming starting late Saturday night. Given the high moisture content, some areas could feature locally heavy rainfall and possibly lead to localized flooding. Poor drainage areas, urban areas, and steep terrain will be the most susceptible locations for this isolated flooding. Many locations across western Wyoming could see 1 to 2 inches of rainfall through Tuesday morning. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway, Turn Around, Don't Drown!

About
Newton Creek Campground sits at the edge of grizzly country along the Shoshone River, 37 miles west of Cody and just 16 miles from Yellowstone's East Entrance. The campground's 31 sites accommodate RVs and trailers up to 40 feet, though hard-sided camping is mandatory due to frequent bear activity. Each site comes equipped with a bear box, fire ring/grill, and picnic table. Nearby attractions include Mummy Cave, an important archaeological site, and a memorial honoring the 15 firefighters who perished in the 1937 Blackwater Fire. Two trails depart from the area: one leading to a natural bridge and another to the Firefighters Memorial. The Shoshone River provides fishing opportunities. The campground operates first-come, first-served with no advance reservations. Food storage in bear boxes is mandatory. There is no cell service. The 16-day stay limit applies.
Directions
From Cody, travel west on U.S. Highway 14/16/20 for 37 miles to the campground. The campground is approximately 16 miles from Yellowstone National Park's East Entrance.
