Marquette, Michigan – Subzero temperatures and scattered flurries are expected tonight, potentially affecting travel along US-41 and M-28 across the eastern Upper Peninsula.
According to the National Weather Service office in Marquette, light snow flurries may develop overnight as temperatures fall sharply, with overnight lows ranging from -5° to 10°, coldest in eastern portions of the region. While widespread accumulation is not expected, brief reductions in visibility are possible on untreated roads during flurry activity.
Forecasters say western areas, including communities near US-41, may remain closer to the upper end of the temperature range, while areas farther east could experience the coldest conditions. Winds are expected to remain light, limiting blowing snow but allowing rapid surface cooling after sunset.
Looking ahead to Sunday, temperatures are forecast to range from 15° to 30°, with the warmest readings in the western half of the Upper Peninsula. Snow showers may linger at times, especially near Lake Superior, though impacts are expected to remain minor. Overnight Sunday night lows are projected between 5° and 20°, again coldest toward the east.
Monday brings a warming trend, with highs between 30° and 38°, accompanied by rain or snow showers that could create slick conditions during the day and into the evening commute. Tuesday temperatures are expected to remain in the upper 20s to mid-30s, followed by cooler conditions midweek.
Drivers traveling overnight and early Sunday are advised to monitor road conditions, particularly on bridges and rural stretches of US-41 and M-28 where refreeze may occur.
This weather pattern may be especially relevant for overnight workers, early-morning commuters, and students returning to campus Sunday morning.
