Ice remains limited across the Great Lakes as anomalously-warm temperatures persist. On Lake Superior, ice remains relatively confined to small bays and/or inlets. On Lake Michigan, ice covers much of Green Bay and the northern shore, including the straits of Mackinac. Fast ice remains primarily confined to the St. Marys River. On Lake Huron, ice remains primarily confined to Saginaw Bay and the northern shoreline of Georgian Bay. On Lake Erie, some ice remains near The Islands. The next 5 days will consist of persistent above normal temperatures across the Great Lakes, resulting in slow decay of ice coverage. Temperatures will remain warm through the end of the week and into the weekend in the 40s and 50s.
