The obvious 1st effect is to insulate MI from cold air when it blows in from the west & north. As we get into early winter, warm water takes a turn to possibly make MI more snowy or rainy. Warm water creates a warm layer of air near the shoreline. This warm air can melt falling snow, turn it to rain

Lake Michigan water temperature: Record warmth could impact winter weather

Lake Michigan is at the warmest temperature for Oct. 9 dating back 30 years.
