The National Weather Service in Detroit has issued a Lakeshore Flood Warning for Monroe County; with the alert for the shoreline areas in effect from 11 a.m. Thursday through 4 a.m. Friday.
While Lake Erie s water levels have receded somewhat from the record highs of 2019 and 2020, the U.S. Army Corps s most recent forecast says the water levels are still higher than average.
Those conditions, when combined with winds blowing off Lake Erie toward Monroe County, have contributed to numerous local flooding incidents during the past three years. County officials are preparing for the situation.
A Lakeshore Flood Warning is typically issued when the recorded water level readings at the nearby NOAA meters approach or go over 70 inches above Low Water Datum. The forecast is for 72 inches. Those water level meters are at the Fermi 2 nuclear power plant in Newport, at City of Gibraltar and City of Toledo.
