Great Lakes finally lower, for now
A spell of dry, mild weather is giving the Great Lakes a break after two years of high water that has shattered records and heavily damaged shoreline roads and homes, national officials said Monday.
Each of the lakes was down significantly in April from the same month in 2020. Lakes Huron and Michigan â which are connected and have the same level â declined 14 inches.
Although still above normal, each of the Great Lakes has dropped steadily since last fall and are expected to remain below 2020 levels for most of this year, according to a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers forecast.
