Quick Glance: As flood dangers approach, look inside the scientific guessing that keeps Utah water managers awake at night.
- According to Jesse Stewart, deputy director of Salt Lake City Public Utilities, in order to decide how much water to release from reservoirs — and when — water managers must assess data from many sources.
- Salt Lake City Public Utilities has been releasing water from its reservoirs, especially Little Dell, for several months after authorities noticed the snowpack was increasing, according to Laura Briefer, director of the department.
- Because of the expected large runoff, water managers may release more water from Little Dell this year than usual, she added.
- "Flood water flows downstream," explained Rathje.

Quick Glance: Bennett: I won't rule out sitting under Netanyahu in the future.
- The 24th Knesset might disband as soon as Monday evening, exactly a week after Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid made the stunning decision.
- Bennett was supposed to become interior minister, Shaked justice minister, and Sa'ar foreign minister, according to coalition accords.
- The outgoing prime minister did not rule out entering a cabinet formed by Netanyahu.
- The official reason Bennett and Lapid chose to dissolve the Knesset was to extend legislation that would otherwise have expired on June 30.
