Marquette, Michigan – Fog clings to the lakeshore this morning, softening the glow of streetlights and wrapping the shoreline in a cool, silvery mist. Damp leaves line the sidewalks, and the air carries that steady chill of late autumn. But change is coming quickly — Marquette will soon trade drizzle and low clouds for sunshine and milder air to begin the first full week of November.
The National Weather Service in Marquette reports light drizzle and cloud cover early today, with temperatures hovering near freezing. Travel along U.S. 41 and M-28 could remain slick through the morning hours, especially on bridges and higher terrain. Showers will fade through the afternoon before a brief clearing trend sets up Sunday morning.
By Sunday afternoon, highs reach the upper 40s under breaks of sun, but another wave of showers returns by evening as a breezy southwest wind builds off Lake Superior. Gusts could reach 30 to 40 mph in exposed areas, creating choppy lake conditions and cooler shoreline air.
Monday brings the payoff — the system moves east, skies clear, and sunshine returns with highs in the low 50s. That mild, calm pattern continues into Tuesday before clouds and light rain edge back in midweek.
Early winter signals remain faint, but models hint that colder air could spill back across the Upper Peninsula later next week — possibly bringing the season’s first light snowflakes inland before mid-November.
