NEW: Water levels in the southern part of Utah's Great Salt Lake have dropped to the their lowest levels ever recorded, and experts say conditions will decline further as extreme drought chokes nearly the entire state.

, released Thursday, more than 99 percent of Utah is under"extreme" drought conditions. Almost 70 percent of the state is experiencing"exceptional" drought, the highest category.

There are still months to go in the lake's typical dry season, which generally stretches from June through the fall. It's likely that water levels will continue to drop, said Ryan Rowland, data chief at the U.S. Geological Survey's Utah Water Science Center.

Although Great Salt Lake doesn't provide critical water supplies or electricity to the region, its declining water levels could have worrisome domino effects, she said.
