This, combin- ed with high evaporation rates, helped speed up the seasonal decline," said Ralph Moulton, Manager of',Environment Canada's Water Level Communications Centre. The decline will continue into early next year when lake levels begin their seasonal rise. The October monthly mean levels of Lakes Huron, St. Clair and Erie declined to be between 48 and 67 centimetres below levels recorded a year earlier. However, they remain between 20 and 30 cm above their long-term averages. Lakes Superior and Ontario were 10 and 13 centimetres, respectively, below average,, well below their levels of tth, same period in 1986. 1tss�timing ' e" a#era s'dpplles, " takes Huron, St. Clair and Erie will remain above average levels for the next six mon- ths, although they will stay well below those recorded over a similar period a year earlier. Lake Superior is expected to remain slightly below average, while Lake Ontario's level will keep close to its long- term average levels. Even very wet conditions would not like- ly result in record high levels on any of the Great Lakes. Extremely dry weather for the forecast period would bring Lakes Huron, St. Clair and Erie closer to their long-term averages and would further lower Lakes Superior and Ontario. Outflow from Lake Superior continued through October at the minimum specified by its regulation plan, the same rate main- tained for the previous four months. the Clow from Lake Ontario was reduced from 7,960 cubic metres per second at the beginning of October to 7,190 cubic metres per second at month's end. November outflows are expected to be about 7,080 cubic metres per second. This will be below the November average since regula- tion of that lake began in 1960. Because the risk of flooding and erosion damage along Great Lakes shorelines re- mains,. Environment Canada continues to operate the Great Lakes Water Level Forecast Centre in Toronto and the Great Lakes Water Level Communications Cen- tre in Burlington.
