Hydrologic Outlook issued October 9 at 10:53AM MDT by NWS Grand Junction CO
ESFGJT A strong low pressure system off the Pacific Coast will begin to draw in tropical moisture associated with Topical Storm Rachel this weekend. This strong southerly fetch will draw anomalously high moisture content across the Desert Southwest and into eastern Utah and western Colorado. The chance for widespread precipitation increases Saturday evening into Sunday. Total precipitation forecasts range from 1 to 3 inches across high terrain, with highest amounts favoring the Uintas, Tavaputs and the Southwest San Juan mountains. Embedded thunderstorms are also possible Sunday afternoon, increasing the threat for flash flooding across vulnerable terrain. While confidence in location and rainfall rates remain low at this time, the potential for rapidly rising rivers, streams, normally dry arroyos and slot canyons are possible Sunday through Monday. Please follow the evolving forecast, especially if your plans including recreating or commuting across eastern Utah and western Colorado Sunday onward. Also, keep in mind weather potential above your location and upstream, particularly for those who reside below sensitive terrain like recent burn scars.

About
Willows Campground is a small, peaceful camping destination within the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in northeastern Utah. Nestled alongside Sheep Creek and surrounded by colorful cliffs, the campground sits at approximately 6,500 feet elevation just off Highway 44. Its proximity to the Sheep Creek Bay boat ramp makes it an excellent base for boating, water skiing, and fishing on Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The campground is operated by a concessionaire and offers basic facilities including vault toilets and trash service. Potable water is not available, so campers must bring their own water supply. The setting provides a quieter alternative to larger developed campgrounds in the recreation area. Nearby attractions include the Sheep Creek Geological Area, featuring dramatic tilted rock formations and opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing. The campground is accessed via a short dirt and gravel road off Highway 44.
Directions
From Highway 44 in the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, take the short dirt and gravel road to the campground near Sheep Creek Bay.
