Lake Mead drop probability — updated June 18, 2026.
Currently at 1,046.56 ft and falling ~0.2 ft/day. BOR June 2026 24-month study projects most-probable low of 1,015.77 ft by July 2027 and 1,011.74 ft by May 2028 — nearly 29 ft below all-time record.
Powell releases to Mead cut by 1.48M acre-feet through Sept 2026, accelerating Mead's decline. Hoover Dam hydropower significantly curtailed below 1,035 ft.
At current rate (~0.18–0.22 ft/day summer draw), Mead reaches 1,034 ft in approximately 68–75 days from today — placing that crossing around late August 2026.
