The lake moisture is more of a winter phenomenon producing lake effect snow, especially over Indiana and eastward of the lakes.

This happened the other day:





Summer convection arises from jet stream slicing through the region, and plumes of humidity funneling into the Midwest from the Gulf of Mexico. Dew Points commonly reach 70F/21C.

So it comes from the south and runs up the eastern side of the Rockies?
