The warming temperatures Thursday led to dangerous conditions on area lakes.

By Thursday evening, the search had become a recovery operation, police said.

"Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the missing man during this incredibly difficult time, and we continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers," police wrote in a statement.

The man has not been identified.

Authorities said two other people who were also on the ATV made it out of the water safely and were not hurt.
