Ice fishing tournaments in Northern Utah have been postponed due to unsafe ice conditions at Echo State Park. Warmer weather has been cited as the reason for keeping people off the ice. Local news station KSL5TV is covering the story in their 5:00 and 6:00 newscasts. Similarly, in Wisconsin, there is a concern for safety on the lakes due to dwindling snow cover and potentially ice-free conditions as observed by NOAA20's high-resolution VIIRS imagery. Madison's Lake Mendota is highlighted for possibly setting a record for the shortest duration of ice cover. Additionally, drone footage has captured fractures in the ice on Wisconsin Lake, prompting the Harrison Fire Department to advise residents to avoid the ice, especially with above-average temperatures.
