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
Tie Hack Campground is located on the east side of the Cloud Peak Skyway in the Bighorn National Forest, near the shore of Tie Hack Reservoir at 7,900 feet elevation. The campground features 19 standard nonelectric sites nestled in a dense lodgepole pine forest with rock outcroppings. Each site includes a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets and drinking water are available, along with trash collection. Tie Hack Reservoir offers excellent fishing for rainbow, cutthroat, brown, and brook trout, with electric motors only permitted. A short trail connects the campground to the lake. The Circle Park Trailhead, located 3 miles from camp, accesses numerous alpine lakes and two 12,000-foot peaks within the Cloud Peak Wilderness. Scenic off-road driving, hiking, and mountain biking are available on nearby Elgin Park, Pole Creek, and Crazy Woman Canyon Roads. South Fork Lodge is nearby, offering dining, lodging, guided horseback riding, a fishing pond, and a small store with fishing and camping supplies. The campground is managed by Rustic Freedom/Gallatin Canyon Campgrounds and reservations are available through Recreation.gov.
