Lake Yosemite?
THIS YEAR’S HEAVY, LATE SNOWPACK IS HAVING A DRAMATIC EFFECT
ON YOSEMITE VALLEY AS THE WEATHER HEATS UP. THE VALLEY
REMAINED UNDER A FLOOD WARNING FOR MUCH OF LAST
WEEKEND AND EARLY THIS WEEK AS WARM TEMPERATURES MELTED
SNOW THAT FELL AS RECENTLY AS TWO WEEKS AGO. ABOVE,
YOSEMITE FALL ROARS AS VISITORS TRY TO CROSS THE SUBMERGED
MEADOW. THE SWOLLEN MERCED RIVER PEAKED AT 10.4
FEET ON MONDAY, AND PARK OFFICIALS BELIEVE THE WATER IS BEGINNING
TO RECEDE AFTER REACHING SOME OF THE HIGHEST LEVELS
THEY CAN REMEMBER IN FIVE OR SIX YEARS.
