Why do storms dissipate as they approach Lake Michigan?

Storms often dissipate as they approach Lake Michigan due to a combination of factors, including the lake's moderating effects on temperature and moisture. Cooler air over the lake can lead to stabilization of the atmosphere, inhibiting the vertical development of storm systems. Additionally, the lake can absorb heat and moisture, reducing the energy available for storm sustenance. These conditions often result in weakened storms or even their dissipation before reaching the shoreline.
