Michigan – Light snowflakes drift across Marquette this morning, coating sidewalks and creating slick patches just as traffic builds along US-41.

According to the National Weather Service, scattered snow showers will develop through the morning hours, with brief bursts reducing visibility and creating slushy road conditions. While accumulation stays limited, timing during the commute increases travel risk.

Temperatures hover near 30°F with southwest winds gusting up to 25 mph. That combination allows quick bursts of snow to stick on colder surfaces. Bridges and shaded roads will be the first to turn slick. Plan extra time and keep headlights on during heavier bursts.

Conditions remain unsettled into the afternoon with a mix of clouds and occasional snow showers. A brief lull arrives later in the day, but clouds hold firm.

Milder air begins to move in by Wednesday, pushing highs into the low 40s. Snow transitions to a rain-snow mix by late morning, then scattered rain showers develop into the afternoon.

Attention turns to Thursday as a more organized system moves in. Rain showers increase by late morning, mixing with snow at times. Winds stay active, and temperatures hover in the upper 30s. Conditions may deteriorate quickly into the evening with slushy roads and reduced traction.

By Friday, colder air returns with highs dropping into the upper 20s under partial sunshine. This back-and-forth pattern signals an active spring setup across the Upper Midwest.
