CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Lake Erie again broke its all-time high water record, surging past the watermark just set in May, preliminary numbers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers show.

The lake in June averaged 574.62 feet over sea level, just over the 574.3 feet all-time record set in May.

Until this year, the record for all-time was set in June 1986.

The lake also broke its all-time monthly high water level for the second time in a row. Water levels in June were 4.1 inches higher than the previous monthly record set in June 1986.

“One of the biggest factors that contributed to the rising lake levels was due to the record amount of rainfall this year,” Army Corps of Engineers spokeswoman Susie Blair said.

Cleveland is 6.18 inches above normal precipitation levels this year, according to the National Weather Service. And more rain is in the forecast, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. A tenth to a quarter inch could fall Tuesday night, and potentially more in areas with thunderstorms.

The story has been updated to include corrected June water levels from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers.
