Marquette, Michigan – A warm and hazy stretch kicks off the workweek across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, but rising thunderstorm chances could disrupt outdoor plans by midweek. Afternoon rumbles of thunder are possible today and Tuesday, especially inland, as smoky and hazy skies persist.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, isolated showers may develop Monday and Tuesday, with limited rainfall expected. Skies remain mostly dry through Wednesday before more organized storm systems push in late Thursday into the weekend. High temperatures will climb steadily, reaching into the low 90s for several days beginning Friday.
Communities along the Lake Superior shoreline, including Houghton, Escanaba, and Iron Mountain, can expect warmer overnight lows and increasing humidity through the week. Thursday’s heat and instability could spark stronger storms, potentially affecting evening travel on U.S. Route 41 and M-28.
Residents are urged to stay weather-aware later in the week as storm timing and severity may change. Keep electronics charged and limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours due to haze and elevated heat indices.
A stronger cold front could shift into the region early next week, but for now, scattered showers and heat remain the headline.
