The Great Salt Lake appears to have maxed out at about 4,194 feet elevation after this year's record snowpack.

With the irrigation season in full swing and more hot, dry, sunny days expected throughout the summer, Parrott estimates the lake could end up losing about another 2 to 3 feet through November. That's what normally happens to the lake in the summer before it refills again in the winter and spring. This could be reduced if more cloudy days develop over the lake, as what happened in May and June, which would reduce solar radiation.
"If that means a corresponding decrease in snowpack, that could mean less runoff," Parrott says. "We could go back into a cycle where we're struggling again with the lake."
