Water levels in Lakes Michigan-Huron are up after above-average precipitation in the Great Lakes basin this week.
The lakes, which are connected by the Straits of Mackinac, are 10 inches higher than at this time a year ago, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports in its latest weekly update.
Lakes Michigan-Huron are projected to rise 2 more inches over the next 30 days, along with Lake Superior.
This month, the Lake Michigan-Huron basin has seen above average precipitation, while the remaining lake basins have received lower than average rain, Corps officials said.
