Lake Michigan Water Level

[GWTH09]

Does anybody know what the forecast is for the Big Lake's water level for the summer? I realize its probably up right now, just curious if there is even a report.

I just seen on TV the other day that the core of engineers report stated that Lake Michigan and Huron are up 13" and Superior is up 5" at the present from last year at this time. It was said to be attributed to two consecuative years of heavy snows. They didnt give a long term forcast for levels though in that particular report. I think i saw this on the news.

Looks to be up more than a foot from last year.

Grand Rapids Ch. #8 reported that Lk. Mi was up 11 inches from last year BUT he didn't say where that was measured at.........

But I would assume that it's anywhere between 10 to 12 inches higher than last year..........
