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...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...A portion of Utah, including the following areas, Castle Country, Central Mountains, Eastern Juab/Millard Counties, San Rafael Swell, Sanpete Valley, Sevier Valley, Wasatch Plateau/Book Cliffs, Bryce Canyon Country, Capitol Reef National Park and Vicinity, Glen Canyon Recreation Area/Lake Powell, South Central Utah, Southern Mountains, Upper Sevier River Valleys, Western Canyonlands, Lower Washington County, Southwest Utah and Zion National Park. This also includes recent burn scars such as Forsyth, Cottonwood, Silver King, France Canyon, and Monroe Canyon. * WHEN...From Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, dry washes, slot canyons, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations such as slickrock areas and recent burn scars. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Anomalously high moisture is forecast to impact the region with the arrival of the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel. While this is expected to be a long duration rainfall event, scattered instances of heavier rainfall rates are expected with stronger storms yielding flash flooding concerns given saturated soils and prior burn scars. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About

Soldier Creek Campground is a large, popular facility on the shore of Strawberry Reservoir in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Situated at 7,200 feet elevation among rolling sagebrush hills with young pines and aspens providing limited shade, the campground offers panoramic views of the reservoir and surrounding valley. Over 150 single and double-family campsites are available across multiple loops, each with a picnic table and fire ring. Loop A offers the most shade from pines and aspens, while Loops B, C, and D sit closer to the reservoir with covered picnic tables and wind screens. The campground has paved roads with camping spurs spaced 50-75 feet apart. Amenities include flush toilets, potable water, and a dump station. A marina adjacent to the campground offers boat rentals, slip rentals, fuel, a general store, and a fish cleaning station. The Soldier Creek Day Use Area with beach access is within a quarter mile. Strawberry Reservoir is renowned for its fishing, with rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, and Kokanee salmon available via shore fishing, motorized boat, float tube, or ice fishing. The 75-mile Strawberry OHV Trail System accommodates hikers, mountain bikers, and OHV riders. The Strawberry Visitor Center features interpretive displays, a working fish trap and egg collection station, and a nature trail.
