Marquette, MI – A mix of hazy skies and afternoon showers will impact Marquette and the Upper Peninsula this weekend, with temperatures hovering around 80°F. The National Weather Service (NWS) reports that today and Friday will see late summer warmth with highs in the mid-80s away from the lakeshore, but Saturday will bring cooler temperatures, ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s, alongside increased cloud cover.
The haze, caused by smoke from ongoing wildfires in the western U.S., could affect visibility and air quality across the region. The NWS advises residents, especially those with respiratory conditions, to monitor air quality alerts and limit outdoor activities if needed. Showers are expected to begin Saturday afternoon in far western areas, offering a brief respite from the heat.
Evening lows throughout the weekend will be in the 50s to low 60s, providing more comfortable conditions for those looking to enjoy outdoor events. While the threat of significant rain remains low, residents should still plan for potential showers, particularly on Saturday. By Sunday, clearer skies and seasonal temperatures are forecast to return. Keep an eye on local alerts to stay informed of shifting weather conditions.
