Great Lakes’ water levels are starting to fall, enjoying a rare normal moment
The Great Lakes are in their seasonal decline in water levels. Over the next few months, the lakes may come close to all being near normal on water levels.
Lake Superior’s water level declined 4 inches in the past month, is 2 inches lower than this time last year and is only one inch above the long-term average. Water levels are expected to decline another 3 inches in the next month.
Lake Michigan and Huron’s water level also declined 4 inches in the past month and is 2 inches lower than this time last year. The two lakes are one water level and are 4 inches above the long-term average. Water levels are expected to decline another 3 inches in the next month.
Lake Erie’s water level isn’t running in tandem with the Upper Lakes of Superior, Michigan and Huron. Lake Erie’s water level declined 6 inches in the past month, but is still 3 inches higher than this time last year and is only 12 inches above the long-term average. Water levels are expected to decline 5 inches in the next month.
Lake Ontario’s water level often does its own thing due to the ability to regulate the water levels through the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Lake Ontario’s water level declined 8inches in the past month, but is still 12 inches lower than this time last year and 4 inches above the long-term average. Water levels are expected to decline another 5 inches in the next month.
