Lake Mead's Shrinking Waters Spark Boat Problem
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. As water levels at Lake Mead keep dropping, officials are actively removing abandoned boats, describing them as "eyesores" on the landscape, says Fox 5. Why It Matters Lake Mead provides essential water to millions across Nevada, Arizona, California, and parts of Mexico. But falling water levels may threaten municipal water supplies, agricultural irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation. Lake Mead and the "bathtub ring" are shown along the Colorado River near the Hoover Dam on March 14, 2025 in Boulder City, Nevada. Lake Mead and the "bathtub ring" are shown along the Colorado River near the Hoover Dam on March 14, 2025 in Boulder City, To Know Many boats have since been removed as levels drop, officials describing the task as a priority, the outlet reported. "That's why we want to clean up some of the boats that are left," Lake Mead National Recreation Area superintendent Mike Gauthier said in a 2023 clip published by Fox 5. "The visuals are really unattractive and don't help the park." Park officials told Fox 5 that the abandoned boats pose a danger to boaters. As more visitors are drawn to them, the sites can become littered with trash and graffiti, the outlet reported. The cleanup effort has been underway for some time, yourNEWS reported. As far back as 2023, officials were seeking volunteers to help remove abandoned boats from the growing stretches of exposed terrain, it said. Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the U.S., capable of storing nearly 29 million acre-feet of water. Close behind is Lake Powell, with a capacity of around 26 million acre-feet. Recent forecasts lowered runoff into Lake Powell to just 55 percent of average, down from an earlier estimate of 67 percent, due to an underwhelming winter snowpack. Lake Mead, which receives flows from Lake Powell, hit critically low levels during the summer of 2022, following years of drought. At the time of writing, Lake Mead's water levels were 1,055.86 feet mean sea level, 173.14 feet below its full pool of 1,229, according to Lakes Online, an online resource for lake and reservoir information. What People Are Saying Lake Mead National Recreation Area Superintendent Mike Gauthier said in a statement, as reported by Fox 5: "We have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to clean up and protect this incredible resource. Through efforts like Love Lake Mead program, we're inviting the community to be part of the solution." What Happens Next A recent study found that increasing wastewater recycling to 40 percent in the Colorado River Basin could save around 900,000 acre-feet of water each year, which would be enough to supply nearly two million homes. Meanwhile, the states that depend on the Colorado River have been in talks to establish new water-sharing agreements by 2026.

Father's Day weekend in North Georgia: Scattered storms and soggy forecast ahead
The Brief North Georgia is experiencing a wet pattern with scattered storms, especially in the afternoons, while mornings may be better for outdoor activities. The National Weather Service warns of daily thunderstorms with potential for strong storms, gusty winds, and lightning, particularly in the afternoon and evening. The wet weather pattern is expected to continue into early next week, with a possible decrease in storm activity by midweek. ATLANTA - North Georgia is heading into a soggy stretch this Father's Day weekend, with repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms forecast through early next week. But while rain chances are high, forecasters say it won't be a total washout—and early mornings may offer the best chance for outdoor plans. What they're saying "We're in a wet pattern, no doubt, but the storms will be scattered," said FOX 5 Storm Team Chief Meteorologist David Chandley. "The first part of each day looks better for anything outside. It's the afternoons when we'll see storms dotting the landscape." Chandley said that trend of hit-and-miss showers will continue, with some areas staying mostly dry while others get drenched. "There's a lot of moisture in the air," he said. "That means we'll see fog in the mornings, slower warm-ups, and then a ramp-up in storm chances each afternoon." Heading into the weekend, Chandley said Friday may bring fewer storms than Thursday, but more rain is likely Friday night into Saturday. By Sunday, the familiar pattern continues. "Expect clouds and fog early, then by Sunday afternoon, more scattered storms will develop—just like Saturday," Chandley said. What you can do The National Weather Service is warning of daily thunderstorms across north and central Georgia, some of which could be strong. While severe weather remains uncertain, the atmosphere is primed for repeated downpours, gusty winds, and lightning—especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Chandley's advice for the weekend: "Make your plans, just keep the umbrella handy—and check the radar before heading out." Local perspective Metro Atlanta: Saturday: Showers and thunderstorms likely after 2 p.m., high near 86°F. Chance of rain: 80%. Saturday night: Continued storms through early Sunday, low around 70°F. Sunday: More afternoon storms, high near 84°F. Chance of rain: 80%. Sunday night: Showers continue before tapering off overnight, low near 71°F. Extreme North Georgia Mountains: Saturday: Showers and storms likely after 2 p.m., patchy morning fog, high near 81°F. Rain chance: 90%. Saturday night: Showers and thunderstorms likely, low near 65°F. Sunday: Widespread rain and storms, high near 78°F. Rain chance: 90%. Sunday night: Thunderstorms likely before tapering off, low near 65°F. Northwest Georgia: Saturday: Storms likely throughout the day, high near 87°F. Rain chance: 80%. Saturday night: Rain likely continues into the early morning, low around 68°F. Sunday: High rain chances with multiple rounds of thunderstorms, high near 85°F. Rain chance: 90%. Sunday night: Storms persist, low near 69°F. What's next The daily risk of thunderstorms continues into early next week, but forecasters are watching for a possible shift by midweek. "By Wednesday or Thursday, we may start to dry out just a bit," Chandley said. "It'll still be humid, but we expect a drop in storm coverage."
