Marquette, MI – Winter is making a brief comeback across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, with snow showers and freezing overnight temperatures returning through Sunday.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, rain showers early Saturday will shift east while colder air moves in, allowing light snow to develop across northern and eastern areas later today. High temperatures will range from 34°F to 48°F, with the coldest readings across interior and northern sections.
By Sunday, lake-effect snow showers are expected to develop, particularly in areas downwind of Lake Superior. Highs will struggle between 32°F and 44°F, while overnight lows drop sharply into the 15°F to 26°F range, especially inland.
Communities including Marquette, Munising, and Houghton could see brief bursts of snow that reduce visibility and create slick spots on untreated roads, particularly along U.S. Highway 41 and M-28.
The colder pattern may temporarily slow snowmelt, but flooding concerns remain elevated where rivers are already running high. Residents near waterways should continue to monitor water levels closely.
Conditions begin to improve Monday as a warming trend develops, with highs rebounding into the 40s and low 50s. Additional updates may follow if lake-effect snow bands intensify or flooding concerns increase.
