Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
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
Oak Grove Campground is a small, primitive camping area located in Dixie National Forest on the southern slopes of the Pine Valley Mountains. The campground features 8 intimate sites set among stands of old-growth ponderosa pine, creating a peaceful atmosphere away from the more developed recreation areas. Facilities are minimal: a single vault toilet serves the campground, but there is no potable water and campers must pack out all trash. Access is via Oak Grove Road from the Leeds/Silver Reef exit off I-15, traveling west through Silver Reef as the road turns to gravel and enters national forest land. The access road is steep and narrow, limiting use to smaller vehicles, tents, and truck campers. Large RVs and travel trailers should not attempt this route. The campground serves as the starting point for Oak Grove Trail #31030, a hiking route that climbs the steeper south face of the Pine Valley Mountains. The surrounding landscape features a mix of pine and oak forest with diverse wildlife. Nearby attractions include the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve and Snow Canyon State Park.
Directions
From St. George, take I-15 north approximately 13.5 miles to the Leeds/Silver Reef exit. Turn west toward Silver Reef and continue on Silver Reef Road as it becomes Oak Grove Road, turns to gravel, and enters Dixie National Forest. The campground is at the end of the road. High-clearance vehicles recommended.
