October 9th, 1:04 PM — 4:15 AM

Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will impact Utah this weekend bringing widespread rainfall totals ranging from 2-4". Some highly localized amounts to 6-8" are also possible, particularly across terrain-favored locations in southwestern Utah, the Book Cliffs, and Bear River Range. * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Western Millard and Juab Counties, Bear Lake and Bear River Valley, Cache Valley/Utah Portion, Eastern Box Elder County, Great Salt Lake Desert and Mountains, Northern Wasatch Front, Salt Lake Valley, Tooele and Rush Valleys, Utah Valley, Wasatch Back, Wasatch Mountains I-80 North, Wasatch Mountains South of I-80, Western Uinta Basin and Western Uinta Mountains. This includes recent burn scars such as Rocky Canyon. * WHEN...From late Saturday night through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and recent burn scars. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel will move into northern Utah this weekend producing a prolonged rainfall event. In particular, moisture interacting with a frontal boundary across far northern Utah may yield locally heavier rainfall totals compared to other locations. As a result, areal flooding is expected across northern Utah this weekend. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About

Pioneer Campground sits on the banks of the Blacksmith Fork River in a narrow canyon about 9 miles east of Hyrum, Utah. At 5,600 feet elevation, the 17 single sites are nicely spaced and shaded by black willow and box elder trees, offering good privacy for a small forest service campground. Each site accommodates up to 8 people with one vehicle and includes a picnic table and fire ring. Vault toilets and potable water are available. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a 7-day stay limit. Extra vehicles cost $10 per day payable on-site. The Blacksmith Fork River provides fishing opportunities directly from camp. Mountain bikers can follow Forest Road 245 to reach the Great Western Trail near Blacksmith Fork Guard Station. The surrounding rugged hills offer scenic drives and hiking with good wildlife viewing. The Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway is nearby.
