Wow, this is really not good news as Lake Powell has not even gone up an inch yet this year. -Doug

I have a hard time believing the lake has peaked, delayed runoff seems to be happening. I can only hope

I have been watching this with keen interest. It does seem like the river is higher here in GJ, but the gauge doesn't lie.

For the record, the lake peaked this year at 3612.20 on June 11. On May 2nd, runnoff exceeded outflow and the level was 3609.22. So the lake officially went up only 2.98 feet in 2018. Ouch.
