With a weekend warmup, plenty of people are concerned about the potential for flooding but hydrologists say this first warmup is important.
"This warmup is exactly what we need this time of year," said Glen Merrill, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service.
Ideally, each warmup would be a little warmer, he said, over an extended period of time through May and into June. Some of the mid-elevation creeks like Emigration Creek, Parleys Creek and City Creek will rise next week, he said, but nowhere near flood levels. "We are in uncharted territory right now," Jordan Clayton, Utah Snow Survey supervisor, said. "We've broken all of the previous records going back to again the early 1930s when we started measuring snowpack in a quantitative way in Utah. All of those records are now surpassed."
