Michigan greets the morning with a hard, biting edge as wind sweeps across Lake Superior and snow streaks sideways through Marquette. The air feels sharp, exposed skin stings fast, and visibility drops quickly when snow bands pass.
A Hazardous Weather Outlook remains in effect for central and eastern Upper Michigan today. Wind chills may dip near 20 below zero, especially west of Marquette. Periods of blowing snow are expected near Lake Superior, creating hazardous travel during peak commute hours.
Snow showers continue through the morning, with patchy blowing snow reducing visibility on U.S. 41 and nearby county roads. While snowfall rates remain modest, persistent northwest winds keep conditions unpredictable. To be fair, even brief lulls can give a false sense of improvement.
Temperatures struggle to climb near 9 degrees this afternoon. Winds gust between 15 and 25 mph, keeping wind chills well below zero. Drivers should plan extra time and expect slick pavement where snow compacts quickly.
Snow chances linger into tonight, with lows falling near 2 degrees. Wind chills stay harsh, and untreated roads may glaze over as temperatures drop. Flash freezing becomes a concern wherever snow briefly melts during daylight.
Wednesday brings another round of snow showers, mainly during the day. Highs remain near 9 degrees, with gusty winds continuing. By Thursday, colder air settles in, holding highs near 10 degrees and lows near 4 degrees, with snow chances persisting.
Friday turns slightly brighter but colder, with highs near 16 degrees and lingering snow showers possible. Looking ahead, 6–10 day outlooks suggest precipitation trends easing while cold air remains locked across Upper Michigan.
Dress in layers, limit time outdoors, and keep emergency supplies in vehicles. Conditions can deteriorate quickly. How cold did it feel in your neighborhood this morning?
