"For this storm in particular, it'll help to slow that snowmelt up there," NWS meteorologist Hayden Mahan told Newsweek. As the storm brings more snow to the area, colder temperatures will accompany it. Since temperatures are in the 30s on Monday, compared with the 60s over the past few days, the snowmelt in the region will slow, easing pressure on the dam. The heaviest snow will fall farther north in Utah, outside of the Panguitch Lake watershed.
