Michigan – Increasing clouds and seasonably mild temperatures are expected across much of Michigan today, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Marquette. Despite the cloud cover, Friday remains quiet before a more active weather pattern moves in for the weekend.
According to the NWS, rain chances increase Saturday as a system spreads moisture into the region. Highs are expected to range from the upper 40s to mid-50s during the day, with breezy conditions developing by the afternoon. The weather agency notes that cooler air quickly follows, setting the stage for lake-effect snow showers Saturday night into Sunday.
Overnight lows tonight should fall into the upper 30s and lower 40s. By Saturday night, temperatures drop sharply into the mid-20s to lower 30s as northwest winds strengthen. The combination of colder air and gusty winds will bring lake-effect snow bands to parts of the Upper Peninsula, especially west and northwest of the Great Lakes.
Sunday’s highs are expected to stay in the mid-30s to low 40s, with breezy conditions continuing. Areas prone to lake-effect snow could see reduced visibility at times, though widespread accumulation is not yet expected. Travelers across Marquette County and surrounding areas should be alert to changing conditions.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts as weekend precipitation and wind shifts may impact outdoor plans and travel.
