Marquette, MI – A winter storm will bring 2-6 inches of snow to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula starting Friday evening, making travel hazardous. Drivers should prepare for slick and snow-covered roads as snowfall spreads across the region.
According to the National Weather Service Marquette, lake effect snow will return Saturday night and continue through Sunday. Snow showers will first impact the northeast before shifting northwest. Higher terrain areas, including Marquette and Baraga counties, may see heavier accumulations.
Wind-driven snow could reduce visibility, creating difficult driving conditions. Those with Valentine’s Day evening plans should allow extra travel time. The snow will linger into next week as lake effect bands persist.
Authorities advise motorists to drive cautiously and check for road updates. Expect slippery roads, especially on highways and secondary routes. Those traveling this weekend should prepare for delays and use extra caution on snow-covered roads.
