Marquette, MI – A combination of weather events is posing a potential hazard for Marquette County residents and visitors today. A moderate swim risk has been issued for the beaches, with breaking waves and strong currents expected throughout the day. Only experienced swimmers are advised to enter the water, as conditions near areas like Middle Bay near Presque Isle, Little Presque Isle, and McCarty’s Cove could be particularly treacherous. Authorities are urging everyone to stay away from dangerous areas such as piers, break walls, and river outlets.
According to the US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan, patchy dense fog will further reduce visibility this morning, complicating travel and outdoor activities. The fog is expected to give way to showers, with an increased chance of thunderstorms by the afternoon. The weather system causing these conditions is forecasted to move out of the area later this evening, bringing some relief by Sunday, which is expected to be partly cloudy with highs in the mid-60s.
Looking ahead to the week, Marquette County will see a cooling trend, with Monday’s temperatures dipping into the high 50s. Sunshine will return, leading to a more stable weather pattern by midweek, as highs will hover in the low 70s. As always, residents and visitors should stay tuned to local weather updates to stay informed about any sudden changes.
