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

Redman Campground is a timbered campground nestled among shady spruce and pine trees in Big Cottonwood Canyon at an elevation of 8,300 feet. Located approximately 14 miles up Highway 190 from the Salt Lake valley, it provides convenient access to mountain recreation while remaining close to urban amenities. The campground features 44 sites spread across two loops, including single family sites, double and triple sites for larger groups, and two group sites accommodating up to 50 people. Every site includes a picnic table and fire ring. The campground has both flush and vault toilets, and potable drinking water is available. Firewood can be purchased from the camp host. The area is popular for hiking and mountain biking on nearby trails, including the well-known Donut Falls Trail. Fly-fishing on Big Cottonwood Creek draws anglers throughout the season. Important restrictions apply: Redman Campground lies within the Salt Lake City Watershed, where special regulations are strictly enforced. Dogs, cats, horses, and other domestic animals are prohibited, with fines up to $650 for violations. Swimming and wading in the creek are not allowed. Reservations through Recreation.gov are required during peak season, with a 7-day stay limit.
