Those concerned about recent high water levels on Lake Michigan may have some of those concerns allayed, given a recent outlook from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The agency which monitors those levels and responds to their outcomes, issues the product it calls a “scenario”, rather than a forecast, to help plan for likely trends in the next six to twelve months.
This winter is shaping up to be the second consecutive La Niña winter, and based upon such patterns in the past, 2022 is likely to present much less of a threat than the past few years. Normal seasonal trends already have levels declining, and even with an expected rise during the warm months, we shouldn’t be anywhere near the record levels seen in 2020. And if the results of past back-to-back La Niña winters are any clue, forecasters are even more confident that we’ll stay much closer to seasonal normals for the rest of the year.
