GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — It was a very wet September for much of West Michigan and the surrounding Great Lakes region. That caused water levels on Lake Michigan to go up again.
The Detroit District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released its weekly water level update on Friday.
Even though the water levels on all of the Great Lakes are below their highest monthly average of record for October, three of the Great Lakes currently have higher water levels now than in early September.
This is the time of year when water levels on the Great Lakes are declining. Water levels are generally the highest in the summer after the spring runoff and lowest in the winter when most precipitation is on land in the form of ice or snow.
