Are any of the lake outflows flowing (Eastern Lake, Lake Powell, etc...):idontno:None to my knowledge, and they haven't had inflow in quite some time. Big Redfish Lake came close to outflowing after our recent rains, but that would be a big hill for a rush of Gulf water to flow back in. It is probably a 6ft hike in elevation to get from the Gulf to the Lake at Big Redfish.

Western Lake could break open with several good rains.
Draper Lake would also need several good rains to open into the Gulf. Again, in both of these cases, we would have to get some strong storm action for the Gulf to flow back in.

Wilsonlc,

Our year-to-date rainfall is about 35% of our yearly average. Therefore, not much of a chance of any outflows in the near future. A tropical storm, on the other hand...
