textblock=The cyanobacteria bloom is present in western Lake Erie but cloud cover or winds above 9.0 mph prevent determining the area. Clouds and/or elevated winds have persisted over western Lake Erie for the past several weeks. As of 27 Oct, bloom intensity and extent had significantly decreased due to seasonal mixing. Sandusky Bay has a local bloom of mixed cyanobacteria.   No recent toxin data currently available. --A.
