Hydrologic Outlook issued October 28 at 2:42PM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT Low pressure begins to dig southward from the PACNW on Friday, tapping into a fetch of Pacific moisture that will evolve into an atmospheric river streaming into the Desert Southwest this weekend. Showers and thunderstorms develop on Friday and Saturday across the region. Lighter rainfall totals Friday and Saturday will reflect, initially lower, moisture. However, a few thunderstorms could produce impactful downpours on saturated soils left over from last weekend's historic rainfall. Deeper moisture develops Saturday night and early Sunday. This is expected to produce heavier and more widespread rainfall across southeast UT and southwest CO Sunday and Monday, mostly below 10000 feet. While rivers are forecast to remain below action stage, a growing concern lies in the potential for runoff around saturated hillsides in the region. This could produce rock, mud, and debris flows onto roadways, as well as flash flood prone burn scars, washes, slot canyons, and arroyos. Early estimates predict an area of 1 to 2 inches of new rainfall for portions of southeast UT and southwest CO. This is a preliminary forecast that hinges on slight shifts in a strong moisture plume impacting the region. It also attempts to capture the most statistically likely outcome, despite stronger and weaker outlier predictions. Outdoor enthusiasts, motorists, and residents of recent flood impacted areas are encouraged to remain abreast of the developing forecast in the coming days.
About
Located in the stunning Indian Creek area of Bears Ears National Monument, the Superbowl Group Site offers a remote camping experience surrounded by towering Wingate Sandstone cliffs and dramatic desert scenery. The site accommodates groups of 10 to 30 people with space for approximately 10 vehicles, making it well-suited for climbing parties, scout troops, or family reunions exploring this internationally renowned destination. The campground sits along Indian Creek, a typically dry wash lined with cottonwood trees that provide welcome shade in this high desert environment. Notable landmarks visible from the area include Lavender Mesa, Bridger Jack Mesa, and the iconic North and South Six Shooter Peaks. The site is positioned about 6.5 miles southeast of Canyonlands National Park's Needles District and 13.5 miles northwest of Newspaper Rock, an impressive panel of ancient petroglyphs. Facilities are basic but functional: a fire ring, picnic tables, a shade structure, and vault toilets. There is no drinking water, cell service, or hookups. Visitors should arrive fully prepared with adequate water supplies and their own firewood, as wood collection is prohibited. The Indian Creek area remains primitive and undeveloped, which is part of its appeal for those seeking solitude amid spectacular red rock country.
Directions
Turn west off U.S. Route 191 onto Utah State Route 211 and travel approximately 25.8 miles. Turn onto County Road 0574 on the south side of the highway. The campground is located 0.25 miles down the natural surface road.
