Hydrologic Outlook issued September 18 at 10:20AM MDT by NWS Riverton WY
ESFRIW A wet weather system will support periods of showers and thunderstorms across Wyoming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This weather system is funneling abundant tropical moisture into the state. Given this anomalously high moisture, many thunderstorms will feature heavy rainfall, possibly leading to localized flooding. Poor drainage areas, urban areas, and steep terrain will be the most susceptible locations for this isolated flooding. Many locations could see rainfall totals anywhere between 0.75" to 1.75" through Sunday afternoon, with a majority of this rain falling quickly in thunderstorms. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around don't down!
About
Pebble Creek Campground occupies one of the most scenic and remote locations in Yellowstone National Park, nestled at 6,900 feet elevation against the rugged Absaroka Range in the park's northeast corner. Located along the road between Tower Junction and the Northeast Entrance, this 27-site campground historically provided a peaceful camping experience away from the park's more heavily trafficked areas. The campground features vault toilets, seasonal potable water, bear-proof food storage lockers, and trash collection. Sites accommodate tents, RVs up to approximately 25 feet, and trailers, with some pull-through sites available. Campfires are permitted in designated fire rings. The area offers excellent hiking access via the nearby Pebble Creek Trailhead and opportunities for wildlife viewing in the Lamar Valley. The campground was significantly impacted by the historic June 2022 flooding that caused widespread damage throughout Yellowstone's northern corridor. It has remained closed since then while the National Park Service conducts flood recovery work, with no announced reopening date.
