Some good news! 💦
BOULDER CITY, Nev. — As the temperatures warm up across the West, all eyes remain on the water levels at lakes Powell and Mead.
"From a far view, it is very beautiful," said a student from California visiting Lake Mead, Ethan Gao. He says seeing how low the water is was a surprise.Despite the water levels appearing low to visitors, the water is actually going up. Up the river at Lake Powell, the level is rising drastically sitting at 3,577 feet, up nearly 40 feet from this time a year ago."Snowpack still looks great," said Russell Danielson with the National Weather Service."The majority of Colorado is 90 percentile for snowpacks, so it's well above normal."
"We have continued to be quite wet, and even in the past few days in June we have had a few inches of snow up in the mountains that has helped the snowpack here," he said.
