Hydrologic Outlook issued October 9 at 10:53AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT A strong low pressure system off the Pacific Coast will begin to draw in tropical moisture associated with Topical Storm Rachel this weekend. This strong southerly fetch will draw anomalously high moisture content across the Desert Southwest and into eastern Utah and western Colorado. The chance for widespread precipitation increases Saturday evening into Sunday. Total precipitation forecasts range from 1 to 3 inches across high terrain, with highest amounts favoring the Uintas, Tavaputs and the Southwest San Juan mountains. Embedded thunderstorms are also possible Sunday afternoon, increasing the threat for flash flooding across vulnerable terrain. While confidence in location and rainfall rates remain low at this time, the potential for rapidly rising rivers, streams, normally dry arroyos and slot canyons are possible Sunday through Monday. Please follow the evolving forecast, especially if your plans including recreating or commuting across eastern Utah and western Colorado Sunday onward. Also, keep in mind weather potential above your location and upstream, particularly for those who reside below sensitive terrain like recent burn scars.

About
Sheep Creek Bay Campground sits within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in northeastern Utah, positioned near the Sheep Creek Bay boat launch for easy reservoir access. The campground features a dispersed layout on an all-asphalt surface rather than traditional designated sites, allowing flexible camping arrangements for a variety of setups. Facilities include vault restrooms and privacy fencing between camping areas. Potable water is not available, so campers must bring their own supply. Fire rings and picnic tables are present but limited. A Recreation Fee Pass is required for parking in the boat launch area. The campground operates seasonally from May through September, with opening dates potentially adjusted based on weather conditions. Its proximity to the boat launch makes it particularly popular with anglers and boaters exploring Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
Directions
From Manila, Utah: Take UT 44 south for 8 miles to FS Road 092. Travel 1 mile to the boat launch area, then turn right and travel through the park area to the campground.
