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

South Fork Campground is located on the banks of the South Fork Ogden River at 5,200 feet elevation, approximately 7 miles east of Huntsville, Utah in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The campground features 44 sites spread across two loops (Loop A and Loop B), including both single and double-family sites. The setting is scenic, with sites nestled among cottonwoods and willows, and moose and deer occasionally wander through. The campground offers gravel roads and parking spurs, cement table pads, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. Vault toilets and potable drinking water are provided. A campground host is stationed at site 21 near the entrance and sells firewood. Loop A sites are reservable through Recreation.gov while additional sites are first-come, first-served. The South Fork Ogden River runs alongside the campground, making it a popular destination for fishing, swimming, and tubing (life jackets required for all tubers). Several hiking and mountain biking trails begin nearby. Causey Reservoir, about 4 miles east, offers canoeing, fishing, and trail access. Highway 39 continues to Monte Cristo Summit with sweeping mountain views and abundant OHV trails.

Directions
