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.
