Hydrologic Outlook issued October 8 at 3:13PM MDT by NWS Salt Lake City UT
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
Twin Lake Campground rests in a juniper tree belt in Twelve Mile Canyon, nestled among Flagstaff Limestone bluffs at 8,100 feet elevation. The campground offers 22 sites: 21 single-family sites at $10/night and one group site accommodating up to 40 people at $30/night. Two vault toilets are regularly maintained. Each site has a fire ring, but there is no potable water or trash collection. The campground is a premier staging area for off-highway vehicle recreation. An on-site OHV learner loop makes it ideal for beginners, while experienced riders can connect to the extensive Arapeen OHV Trail System or venture up to Skyline Drive for panoramic alpine scenery. The 7,000-8,100 foot elevation allows earlier spring access and warmer fall temperatures compared to higher Sanpete County campgrounds. Sites 11, 13, and Group A are reservable through Recreation.gov; all other sites are first-come, first-served. The campground operates seasonally from May through September 30.
