Marquette, MI – Marquette residents can expect a blustery Veterans Day, with snow showers and gusty northwest winds expected to impact travel and outdoor plans. A potent Alberta Clipper system will bring rain, snow, and cold temperatures across the region, posing challenges for Veterans Day gatherings and road conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, Marquette will experience scattered rain and snow showers through Monday evening. Veterans Day will see highs between 38°F and 49°F, with strong winds gusting up to 30 mph, making it feel colder. Motorists, especially along local routes and near Sawyer International Airport, should be cautious of wet and potentially icy roads, particularly during peak commuting hours.
After Monday, conditions will improve, with a dry and sunny Tuesday expected. The five-day forecast for Marquette includes mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s on Tuesday and Thursday, offering a reprieve from the weekend’s wet weather. However, another round of showers is likely on Wednesday, with highs in the upper 40s. Residents should remain prepared for fluctuating conditions throughout the week.
For those planning Veterans Day events, consider dressing in layers and preparing for wind-chill factors that could make temperatures feel even colder. Commuters should check local weather updates before heading out, as road conditions may change rapidly with the approaching cold front.
