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

Whiting Campground is nestled in Maple Canyon within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest at 5,400 feet elevation. The campground features a pleasant setting beneath a dense canopy of maple and cottonwood trees that provide ample shade in summer and spectacular fall color. A perennial creek runs through the area, adding to the scenic atmosphere. The campground offers 27 sites total: 23 standard single-family sites with cement pads, 3 equestrian sites with hitching racks, and 2 group sites accommodating 100 and 200 people respectively. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Vault toilets are available, but there is no potable water on-site so campers must bring their own. Firewood is available for purchase. Maple Canyon Trail begins nearby, providing access to hiking, mountain biking, dirt biking, and horseback riding. The trail network offers scenic mountain and canyon views. Note that horse trailers must be parked about 1 mile from the campground. Gates are open 7am to 10pm with quiet hours from 10pm to 6am.
