Marquette, Michigan – Drivers along US-41 in Marquette should brace for breezy, damp conditions this afternoon as spotty showers and patchy fog continue across northern Michigan.

According to the National Weather Service, rain chances will increase after 3 p.m. Saturday, with gusts reaching up to 25 mph in Marquette County. Foggy stretches are expected through mid-morning, especially in low-lying and lakeshore areas. Winds from the northwest will keep temperatures in the mid-50s, limiting visibility and making for slick pavement.
