Michigan — Snowflakes drift sideways along Lake Superior’s shoreline, softening headlights and blurring the horizon. In Marquette, winter tightens its grip early today, with light snow falling, cold air biting, and travel conditions changing by the hour.
Temperatures sit near 19 degrees this morning, with wind chills close to 10 below zero at times. Light snow showers continue through the morning and into the afternoon. While accumulations remain modest, slick roads develop quickly, especially on untreated stretches of US-41 and M-28. Visibility may briefly dip during heavier bursts.
By midday, snow showers linger, and highs struggle to reach the lower 20s. Winds increase slightly, adding to the cold feel. Any melting remains limited, which keeps road surfaces icy through the day. Plan extra time if driving, and watch for sudden slick spots near intersections and bridges.
Tonight turns colder. Lows fall near 8 degrees, and wind chills dip below zero again. Snow chances briefly decrease, but the cold sets the stage for flash freezing where daytime snow compacts or partially melts.
Tuesday brings another round of light snow showers, mainly before noon. Highs remain near the mid-teens, reinforcing winter hazards. Conditions calm Tuesday night, though lows drop toward 5 degrees under mostly cloudy skies.
Wednesday offers a short break. Skies brighten, and highs reach the low 20s. That lull ends Thursday, when snow showers become likely again during the afternoon and evening. Additional snow may affect travel into Thursday night, with colder air following into Friday.
Looking ahead to the Feb 6–8 weekend, snow chances linger, and temperatures stay well below normal. The Great Lakes remain heavily frozen, helping reinforce persistent cold across the Upper Peninsula.
Dress for biting cold today. Slow down on snowy roads. How are conditions where you’re traveling this morning?
