Marquette, Mich. – Drivers across Upper Michigan should brace for reduced visibility tonight as patchy fog blankets highways and city streets. Fog will thicken after sunset, creating dangerous travel conditions along US-41 and M-28, especially during the late-night and early morning hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, dense fog will linger overnight with thunderstorms developing Thursday afternoon over central and eastern Upper Michigan. Rainfall will stay scattered, but brief downpours and lightning could slow travel and disrupt outdoor plans. Commuters should plan for extra time on the road and avoid unnecessary travel during peak storm periods.
Marquette can expect lows near 56 degrees tonight before highs drop into the low 60s on Thursday under mostly cloudy skies. Winds will shift north around 5 mph, keeping cooler air in place. By Friday, conditions improve with sunshine and highs in the lower 60s, offering a brief break before another round of showers moves in over the weekend.
Isolated storms are likely to return Saturday night, spreading into Sunday. While not widespread, the unsettled pattern will keep outdoor activities at risk through early next week.
