[LakePowellWaterData] link goes to the lake water data base where you can see a recent rise in the lake level
this rise is a very welcome thing as the lake level went low enough to set off warnings
the rise was due to monsoon rains and incoming pacific storms
A pacific storm (with some tropical input) is occurring now (am local time 22 Oct) which will add a lot of water to the various lakes, e.g., Navajo, Powell, Mead. Main branch rivers may reach flood stage briefly but likely will not flood dangerously. Tributaries might reach dangerous levels. This could be the beginning of a welcome wet period that will replenish the various watersheds. |
