Marquette, MI – Michigan’s Upper Peninsula faces significant snowfall, with totals between 8 and 14 inches expected by Tuesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 1 a.m. EST Tuesday for Keweenaw, Northern Houghton, and Ontonagon counties. The heaviest snowfall is forecast in areas of high terrain, including the Keweenaw and Porcupine Mountains. Communities south of Bruce Crossing may see 4 to 6 inches. Winds could gust up to 35 mph, further reducing visibility.
Central Upper Michigan counties, including Marquette and Alger, are also under an advisory through this evening. These areas are expected to receive 3 to 5 inches of snow. In Gogebic County, snowfall will taper off tonight, with totals ranging between 3 and 5 inches. Higher accumulations are expected along and north of M-28 and US-2, particularly between Wakefield and Ironwood.
Road conditions are expected to deteriorate as the snow continues. Blowing snow will make visibility difficult, and icy roads will pose a hazard for commuters on Monday morning and evening. The NWS advises motorists to slow down and exercise caution while traveling. Local authorities recommend preparing emergency kits for vehicles, including blankets, water, and flashlights, in case of delays.
Residents are urged to monitor local weather updates and delay non-essential travel, especially in heavily impacted regions. Snowfall will begin tapering off Tuesday as conditions improve.
