BREAKING - Most of northern Utah, including Salt Lake County, is now OUT of drought status for the first time in years.
SALT LAKE CITY — As many Utah cities have seen intense flooding this week, there's good news for drought conditions.
It coincides with record-breaking snow storms after years of drought. However, Utah's Department of Natural Resources has repeatedly cautioned that Utah can very easily slip back into more severe drought conditions as we head into summer and have continued to urge water conservation to recharge reservoirs and save the Great Salt Lake.
The downgraded status across the state is seen as many cities have experienced flooding due to warm temperatures and melting snow.
