A late-season winter storm will hit the cracked Panguitch Lake Dam in southern Utah on Monday.Last week, National Weather Service meteorologists issued a flash flood watch for portions of the state after officials discovered a 60-foot-long crack in the dam, which imperils its integrity. Residents downstream were on alert for several days, but the damage didn't warrant evacuations.Officials have since relaxed their evacuation warnings, and the NWS canceled its flash flood watch on Saturday.
Utah Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Cameron Roden previously told Newsweek that dam officials will monitor lake levels through spring runoff and will finish repairs to the cracked dam after the snow melts.'Snow in the mountains has yet to come down,' Roden said. 'So will work to control levels throughout spring runoff.'The weather forecast for the near future is also acting in the dam's favor.
