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
Slate Creek Campground is a free primitive camping area managed by the BLM Kemmerer Field Office in partnership with the Bureau of Reclamation. Located on the west side of the Green River approximately four miles south of Fontenelle Reservoir, this quiet site provides a launching point for outdoor recreation in southwestern Wyoming. The area is renowned for birdwatching, situated just north of Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, which hosts diverse waterfowl and migratory species along the Green River corridor. Anglers will find good fishing access to the Green River directly from the campground. The site also contains historic resources that visitors are asked to leave undisturbed. Facilities are basic: designated camping sites, two ADA-accessible vault toilets, and picnic areas. There is no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. The campground is free and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations accepted.
