Jonger Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The amount of water that is bound to dump into Superior and Lake Michigan, should make a big impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Record fail but close. Guess I don't understand what this means....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Guess I don't understand what this means....? The southerly flow is pushing extra water to the northern end of the lake. Must be measured by satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Guess I don't understand what this means....? I don't either lol and probably means nothing... while looking at lake temps this AM I came across that map and to my moron eyes it tells me that the avg water level of the Lake is still above the record low-level that occurred in March 1964 at 576.12 ft.

weatherbo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Mi/Huron are now up 8" since this time in March, with another projected rise of 3" by May 26th. This will be an 11" rise. It's looking more likely that the lake will erase last years deficit loss of 14". As of now tho, the lake is still -21" below the long term average. This is major progress and with a lot of snow melt left to go in the Superior basin, the rise should continue into July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Until this melts, I'm not going to worry much about Lake levels this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Lake Huron/Michigan still sitting chugging along near well below normal, makes me wonder how much water is getting drained out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Michigan/Huron have made a lot of progress.... Water levels are currently 13" above this time last year and 18" above the record low recorded at the beginning of 2013. Still -16" below long term average, but sure beats the -29" it was. http://www.lre.usace.army.mil/Missions/GreatLakesInformation/GreatLakesWaterLevels/WaterLevelForecast/WeeklyGreatLakesWaterLevels.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Lake Michigan/Huron continue to hold their own re: the significant recovery from this years record low water levels. The lakes are 15" above the levels this time last year and now only -14" from long term levels for this time of year. What's even more interesting, and kinda rare, is that MI/Huron are 2" higher than levels reported on October 29th. Usually this time of year it's a steady decline.... still tho, they are forecasted to decline 2" in the next month. A snowy Winter and wet Spring could finally raise the levels within 4 or 6" of long term averages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
