Water Levels Forecast
Forecast of monthly mean lake levels for
the next six months grouped as:
- high level (there
is a 5% probability of exceeding this level)
- most probable level
(there is a 50% probability of exceeding this level)
- low level (there
is a 95% probability of exceeding this level)
 Water levels are
collected by CHS for the Canadian gauges and by NOS/NOAA for the American
gauges. Six month forecasts of the probable range of future levels are
prepared under the auspices of the International Coordinating Committee on
Great Lakes Basic Hydraulic and Hydrologic Data by Environment Canada,
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Regulation Office in Cornwall and the U.S. Army
