The primary hazards include damaging wind gusts, brief heavy downpours, and frequent lightning, with potential impacts across Marquette, Houghton, Baraga, and Iron counties.
Sunday, July 13, will be mostly sunny and warm across the region, with a high near 82 degrees in Marquette and a light west wind. It’s a great window for outdoor activity, with dry skies continuing through Sunday night.
