Colorado authorities monitored the North Fork of the gorged Gunnison River and warned residents to be ready to flee "We have sandbagged a few spots in low areas around some homes." Delta Police Chief Bob Elliott said "Me have notified about IS families in the flood plain. In Utah, highs in the 80s accelerated melting of record mountain snowpack and hundreds of volunteers built dikes and sandbagged gorged stream to avert serious flooding. "It's routine for them to get some flooding in the spring but not like this." said meteorologist Bill Hirt at the National Severe Storms Forecast Center in Kansas City. Mo. "This is one of those things that happens every 50 years or every 100 years. Great Salt Lake hasn t been this high in 100 j. . years." "These types of events are only supposed to occur once every so or 100 years," Hirt said. "When we say an event is a 100 year event, it doesn t mean it can't happen two years in a row or three years in a row. It's just a way of expressing probability. "Last year was also a event."

The snowpack in Utah and Nevada contains as much as 30 inches of water. Hirt said, "so if it starts melting in a hurry it's going to cause lots of problems." Hirt said the warm spell was forecast to linger at least until Monday. "They're forecasting 100 at Las Vegas. Nev.. and almost 90 at Grand Junction in western Colorado. So that s really going to accelarate their snowmelt." At least 1.000 people volunteered to build a "sandbag river" in Salt Lake City to divert water from a major storm drain expected to rage with runoff early next week. Another thousand filled sandbags, said Al Britton. Salt Lake County emergency services director. Volunteers hefted sandbags in the small central Utah towns of Salina. Fillmore and Kanosh. Hundreds of Salina and Fillmore residents left their beds to plug nighttime breaks in dikes. ! 00 The 53 Almanac Provo Temperature! 1 U MASierpwc 39 4 20 6 00 1 05 80 6 V-- JL ' 1 3 93 good impression 7 DALLAS '83-- HI Lo ST LOUIS f LOS ANGELES 4 04 Month Apr. 17 Apr. 18 Apr. 19 Apr. 20 Apr. 21 Apr. 22 Apr. 23 Apr. 24 Apr. 25 Apr. 26 Apr. 27 Apr. 28 Apr. 29 - kl ED. cfcaaael I Anifnu Tlw na-n- a 2 31 2 22 Water Year tuuUt Remake Ikad ISY'l TV BYl DeKMui Farwu Theater ipm 1 '82.-8- July August September MD Srl Ml ti 1 2 82 June Vi H 3 Prove Preripitattoa (locket) 1 !l baieruiaman Tkn Weak arui bunwu aas Kneads "5 83-- Provg Yetterday Humiditv Range Peak Wind: 15 mph Evaporation: .29 1 I LAilUIUAcr Euiaoeu 30 00 00 Sth FShClSCO X ;oei .VCR Month October November December January February March April May W U 7 00 00 .00 00 .00 - M II V Suuuaarj Alt ink.
