Im thinking of jumping into Black Hole this weekend and was wondering what areas upstream you guys check for previous days weather. Im under the impression that it wont rain directly in the area but im uncertain about which ways to check other than the mountain directly east from White canyon and maybe Natural bridges natl monument?

Any thoughts?

Check all of the places upstream from the Black Hole. It isn't that hard. Use the map on the NOAA site to scroll around.

If you don't want to do that, check Natural Bridges.

As if now, it looks good this weekend everywhere in the White Canyon complex.

Man it was awesome. Ill upload a video later but I was there Sunday and it had rained a couple days prior. It was tip top full and there was plenty of swimming all the way until the exit. No log jams or anything crazy, just lots of fun. Wore my 5/4 and was happy.
