November 20, 2024Nov 20 Get ready for some snow east siders! Lake Erie incredibly warm for this time of year, shattering record Updated: Nov. 20, 2024, 11:03 a.m. Lake Erie isn’t just a touch warmer than normal. It is much warmer than normal with the surface water temperatures at record warm levels by a significant margin. Lake Erie’s average surface water temperature on Sunday, Nov. 17, was 57.1 degrees. It is incredible that a Great Lake has almost a 60-degree water temperature in mid-November. https://www.cleveland.com/weather/2024/11/lake-erie-incredibly-warm-for-this-time-of-year-shattering-record.html?outputType=amp

Erie is warmer than the others because it is shallower and further south. The southernmost point of the lakes is somewhere near Huron.

This would explain why Lake Erie is warmer relative to the other Great Lakes, not why Lake Erie is warmer than its historical average temperature...

The upside as the shallowest is Laker Erie can completely refresh itself in less time than the others
