Marquette, MI – Temperatures in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula will rise sharply Monday, reaching highs of 40°F to 50°F. However, melting ice on lakes and rivers poses safety risks.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Marquette, tonight’s lows will range from 10°F to 20°F before warming significantly on Monday. The quick thaw could weaken ice, increasing the danger of falling through. Residents should avoid frozen bodies of water.
By Monday night, temperatures will drop to 28°F to 34°F, with a chance of light freezing rain, especially in interior areas. Slippery roads and sidewalks may develop as temperatures fluctuate.
Officials urge caution near lakes and rivers, as ice conditions will deteriorate rapidly. If venturing outdoors, avoid unstable ice and monitor local weather alerts.
This warm spell is expected to last through Tuesday before cooler temperatures return midweek. Stay informed and take precautions during this period of rapid weather changes.
