The US Army Corps of Engineers predicts that water across the Great Lakes will remain high for the duration of summer, and even into the fall.The Corps says these high levels are due to above average precipitation on the lakes. Forecasted levels on Superior, Michigan-Huron, and Erie will be the highest since the 1990s.Lake Ontario levels will also remain high, after setting a record for highest average lake levels for the month of May. Communities along Lake Ontario -- ranging from Toronto to tiny Sodus Point, N.Y. -- have seen flooding for weeks. Copyright 2017 Great Lakes Today. To see more, visit Great Lakes Today.
