Michigan — Snowflakes sweep in off Lake Superior, blurring the shoreline and dulling the morning light. Wind cuts across open ground, and each passing snow shower adds a fresh coating to roads and sidewalks.
Light to occasionally moderate snow continues around Marquette today, with scattered snow showers developing at times. Accumulations stay modest, but repeated bursts keep surfaces slick. Temperatures remain stuck near 10 degrees, and wind chills dip well below zero, especially during gustier periods.
Travel impacts build quickly despite lighter snowfall. US-41 and nearby county roads turn snow-covered during heavier bands. Reduced visibility may flare up suddenly, particularly late morning and again toward evening. Drivers should slow down and leave extra space.
Snow tapers tonight, but cold holds firm. Lows drop into the single digits, allowing any melted snow to refreeze. Flash freezing becomes a concern on untreated pavement and parking lots.
Wednesday offers a short reset. Skies brighten, and sunshine breaks through. Highs reach the low 20s, helping road crews catch up. To be fair, snowpack remains in place, and shaded areas stay icy.
Attention shifts to Thursday. Meteorologists are tracking another round of snow showers developing during the day, increasing Thursday night. Northwest winds strengthen, pulling colder air back across the Upper Peninsula. Snow showers linger into early Friday before easing.
Friday turns colder again, with highs in the mid-20s and clearing skies at times. Wind chills drop sharply after sunset, making it feel much colder than the thermometer suggests.
Looking toward the Feb. 6–8 weekend, winter stays active. Spotty snow showers return Saturday, followed by quieter but cold conditions Sunday. NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook hints at milder air edging toward the Great Lakes late next week. With lakes still largely frozen, any warming may shift snow patterns rather than end winter impacts.
