Even before the true runoff has begun, the Great Salt Lake has risen 3 feet over its historic low set last November.
While the drought status of the majority of Utah continues to lessen each week, the good news continues at the lake.
The lake hit 4191.5 feet above sea level at 2:15 p.m., which is a yard over the record low of 4188.5 feet. The runoff could get underway in earnest next week when temperatures in northern Utah are expected to reach the 70s, just days after the current April storm wraps up.
