From Deseret News archives:
Water supply is looking good for Utah reservoirs
The water supply situation is basically the best of both worlds, said Brian McInerney, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Utah. We've got water supply that will fill all the reservoirs except Bear Lake, Lake Powell and a few others under construction.
Snowpack levels in the mountains of northern Utah are 100 percent to 120 percent of normal; in the south that percentage is between 120 and 130, McInerney said.
With all that snow up high, he said, flooding is a concern if it warms up too quickly in tandem with additional rainfall or snow. At least in the short term, such a pattern isn't forecast.
Our flood threat is minimal right now, McInerney said.
