Marquette, Michigan – Rain and thunderstorms are set to roll across Marquette and much of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, bringing wet roads, possible localized flooding, and changing travel conditions through Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service, the area will see a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 11 a.m. Tuesday, with additional showers and storms possible tonight, especially before 11 p.m. Drivers on U.S. 41 and M-28 should watch for sudden downpours and slick pavement, while power outages and minor flooding could impact neighborhoods and lakeshore communities.
Partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-60s are expected Wednesday, but showers return Friday night into Saturday, with another round of thunderstorms possible by Saturday afternoon. Outdoor events and local parks in Marquette, Negaunee, and Ishpeming could face interruptions, and campers are advised to check weather updates and secure gear.
To stay safe, residents should keep devices charged, avoid travel during heavy rain, and never drive through flooded roads. Boaters on Lake Superior should monitor for sudden storms, as lightning and gusty winds remain a risk.
Showers are likely to linger until early Sunday, with drier, sunnier weather returning by Monday. Stay tuned for updated advisories as new thunderstorms could develop later this week.
