Happy New Water Year, Utah! The state ended its water year with signs of improvement. Most of the state is no longer in drought and overall, things are looking better.
The state ended its water year with signs of improvement. Most of the state is no longer in drought and overall, things are looking better.
The winter and Utahns' continued efforts to conserve water has helped push the state into a better place than previous years. As temperatures start to decline and snow begins to fall in the mountains, it will give us a head start on next year. As for the winter forecast, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center gives us an"equal chance" of having either above normal or below normal winter.
"Right now, we're still about four feet above where we were at a record low last year. We're not done yet," Hasenyager said."Last year’s record low was seen in November, so we’re anticipating the elevations to drop slightly. But we’re in a better place than we were last year." Over the weekend, FOX 13 News' camera positioned atop the Natural History Museum of Utah captured large clouds of dust blowing off the exposed lake bed into populated areas. The Utah Department of Quality said that while the dust certainly looked bad, its air quality sensors did not register levels of PM2.5 or PM10 that exceeded healthy limits or triggered alarms. In other words, it could have been a big — but short — dust storm that wasn't persistent and didn't trigger alarms.
