Marquette, Michigan – 22°F morning temperatures are creating icy roads and slowing travel through the Saturday commute, especially where lake effect snow showers are lingering.
Light lake effect snow continues early this morning across eastern portions of the Upper Peninsula, producing localized slick spots on untreated roads. Additional scattered snow showers may redevelop this afternoon across northern areas, while temperatures struggle to reach the low 30s to low 40s, with colder readings near Lake Superior and across the Keweenaw Peninsula.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, snow showers will gradually diminish by evening as high pressure begins to build in. Cities including Marquette, Munising, Houghton, and Newberry may see brief reductions in visibility and light accumulations, particularly on secondary roads and higher terrain.
Travel impacts will be most noticeable along stretches of US-41, M-28, and rural county roads where patchy snow and refreezing create slick conditions. Drivers should reduce speeds and allow extra stopping distance, especially during morning and late-day hours.
Conditions improve Sunday and Monday with dry weather and moderating temperatures, reaching the 40s and 50s in many areas, though parts of the Keweenaw may stay cooler in the upper 30s.
Rain is expected to move in by late Monday afternoon and continue into Tuesday, potentially impacting travel and outdoor plans. Additional updates are likely as that system approaches.
