Suprisingly, yes.
In 1996, an extratropical cyclone became situated over Lake Huron. The warm lake waters gave it a warm core and deep convection. The end result was a subtropical storm dubbed 'Hurricane Huron'. Although it never reached hurricane status, it showed tropical characteristics such as the spiral bands, eye, and eyewall.
In 2011, an upper level low fed off the Great Lakes moisture and developed a surface circulation. This storm delivered chilly temperatures, overcast, showers, and thunderstorms to the Great Lakes region for a week. The system was not tropical, but it is another example that the Great Lakes can induce good amounts of convection.
