Michigan – A quiet, icy dawn settles over Marquette, where cold air clings to rooftops and crunches under boots as calm winds sweep across open parking lots. The sky holds a muted glow, hinting at brighter conditions building as early Thanksgiving travel begins to ramp up across the Upper Peninsula.
According to the National Weather Service Marquette office, today turns sunny but brisk, with a high near 38. Northwest winds may gust near 20 mph, creating a biting feel along exposed stretches of US-41. Residents heading out early should dress in layers and watch for shaded slick patches where frost lingers longer.
According to forecasters, tonight stays clear and cold with temperatures dipping into the upper 20s. Drivers traveling late should prepare for rapidly forming frost on windshields. Tuesday brings mostly sunny skies and lighter winds, offering an excellent travel window for those starting early holiday trips or moving between Marquette, Negaunee and Ishpeming.
According to early model signals, Wednesday introduces increasing clouds as a warmer push arrives. Highs reach the low 40s, but moisture gathers late, signaling a possible change to showers by Wednesday night. This marks an early sign of a more active November pattern likely to intensify heading toward Thanksgiving.
According to longer-range expectations, Thursday brings steady rain with highs in the mid-40s. Roads may turn slick where cold surfaces persist, particularly north of town and near higher terrain. Friday improves with partly sunny skies and a high near 40. The weekend trends milder, giving residents chances to handle leaf cleanup or early Christmas decorating before colder patterns return next week.
