The International Lake Superior Board of Control is reporting that Lake Superior water levels remain well above average, as do water levels of Lake Michigan and Huron.

In a release issued today, the board stated that shoreline erosion remains a concern, and "lakeshore flooding and coastal damages over the next several weeks" are possible.

The board "advises all those that may be affected to prepare for potentially severe coastal impacts, especially during periods of strong winds and high waves."

In their release, LSBC said:

Lake Superior and Lake Michigan-Huron water levels continue to decline, but are still well above average and the risk of high-water impact remains. Lake Superior outflows continue to be set in consideration of high levels upstream and downstream.

Last month, Lake Superior declined 10 cm (3.9 in), while on average it declines 7 cm (2.8 in) in January. Lake Michigan-Huron declined 11 cm (4.3 in) over the course of the month, while on average it declines 2 cm (0.8 in) in January.
