Marquette, Michigan – A stretch of unseasonably warm, dry weather is headed for Upper Michigan, with Marquette climbing to 70°F by Friday and continuing into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, sunny skies will dominate the week, with temperatures gradually warming from the mid-40s Wednesday to near 70°F by Friday afternoon. Winds out of the north will gust up to 20 mph Wednesday before calming Thursday and shifting southwest by Friday.
Local travel conditions remain favorable, including along M-553 and US-41, with no precipitation expected through early next week. Thursday and Friday’s sunshine should boost outdoor activity, but residents are urged to stay aware of wind gusts Wednesday, particularly for high-profile vehicles and on exposed roadways.
By the weekend, temperatures in Marquette will hover in the low 70s with mostly clear skies overnight. It’s a welcome shift after last week’s cooler streak. Saturday and Sunday will feature springlike warmth, ideal for yard work, travel, or local events, with overnight lows comfortably in the 40s.
Looking ahead, the clear and calm pattern holds through at least Monday, with highs in the mid-70s and no rain in sight. It’s a rare five-day run of dry, stable weather this spring—take advantage before conditions change.
