April 11th Water Levels Report
Over the past week, temperatures have been warmer than average across the Great Lakes basin. Lake Michigan-Huron is 4 inches higher than it was a month ago, 4 inches above its level last year, and is projected to rise 3 inches over the next 30 days. Lake Superior’s outflow through the St. Mary’s River, and Lake Michigan-Huron’s outflow into the St. Clair River, are forecasted to be above average in April.
The most recent clear satellite image is this one from April 10th, which shows that the ice cover on the Bay has retreated further, but the east and north shorelines are still completely covered. All the images since then have been too cloud covered to determine more recent coverage.
