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
Rocky Peak Campground occupies a scenic pinyon-juniper forest within the Three Peaks Recreation Area, a 6,000+ acre BLM Special Recreation Management Area located 10 miles north of Cedar City, Utah. Ancient volcanic activity shaped the surrounding terrain, leaving granite boulders scattered throughout the campground with views of the Hurricane Cliffs range rising above Cedar City. The campground features 10 standard nonelectric sites and 2 group sites, all with picnic tables and fire rings with grill grates. Vault toilets are nearby. No potable water is available at the campground, though water can be found at nearby trailheads. Group sites include pavilions with multiple tables and oversized fire rings, accommodating up to 50 people and vehicles up to 99 feet. Three Peaks Recreation Area caters to diverse outdoor interests: hiking and mountain biking trails depart from the campground, while the broader area includes equestrian and OHV trailheads, two disc golf courses, a remote-controlled car track, model airplane runway, paintball complex, and shooting range. The campground is roughly one hour from Zion National Park and 90 minutes from Bryce Canyon.
Directions
From Cedar City, take Main Street (UT-130) north and take the third exit in the roundabout onto Midvalley Road. After 6 miles on Midvalley Road, continue straight through Three Peaks Recreation Area. The campground is on the left shortly after the road transitions from pavement to dirt.
