Don't get too optimistic yet. My guess is that the extra 480K AF will be held back in Powell later in the summer, when it will make the most difference to keeping the lake up. The planned 500K AF release from Flaming Gorge starting May 1 would potentially add up to another 7 feet. Assuming those two concepts converge, I could see a rise into the neighborhood of 3545 or so by July (mostly from the Flaming Gorge release added to expected runoff), then having the lake level hold up a little better into late summer by holding back releases through Glen Canyon Dam as planned... might keep the lake at 3535 on October 1...

But I'm not about to bet the farm on that one yet... but it is a rough back of the napkin guess that's worth about 5 bucks in a wager...
