"A wet spring, and heavy winter snows, also raised lake levels. So, what's ahead?

Researcher Olga Lyandres of the Alliance for the Great Lakes said that it's difficult to say, but fluctuations are a sign of a healthy ecosystem.

“The most recent models suggest that it could either rise or fall, compared to the long term average,” said Lyandres."

You can be CERTAIN that it will either rise or fall compared to the long term average, regardless of model, regardless of climate or weather.

Incorrect

There is a slight chance that it could also remain the same, so we have a third option, although that has apparently been ruled out, lol

Zero chance.
However, if it stays EXACTLY on the average from now until eternity, I'll stand corrected and I'll buy you a beer.
How's that?

What she failed to mention is that water levels in Michigan have been low over the past decade, especially in Lake St. Clair.

Residents who live on the canals along Lake St. Clair have had to pay to have their canals dredged out in order to accomodate their boats. Those with sailboats were screwed and had to pay to berth them at local marinas.....

What a profound conclusion. Lake levels could rise or they could fall.

when I was just a little kid (1940’s) we had property on Lake Huron. The lake would at some years be way out.(about 40 feet) Other years it was normal and then some years higher than normal....they have their own rise and fall. When the lake was out, we had a stony shore line and would pick up rocks to have a sandy area to swim when the water came back, but dam, it brought all new rocks with it...losing battle...

Zero chance? No. (Very) slight chance, yes
