Michigan — Light snowflakes drift across Marquette this morning, dusting cold pavement and reducing visibility as temperatures hover near 25°F, creating slick travel conditions along US-41 and nearby roads.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, scattered snow showers will continue through the morning with temperatures staying in the 20s before slowly climbing into the low 30s later today. Gusty north winds up to 25 mph are adding a biting chill and could push light snow across roadways.
Across Marquette, Harvey, and Negaunee, drivers should expect brief visibility drops and slushy patches, especially on bridges and untreated roads. Even minor accumulation can create hazards when combined with cold pavement. Plan extra time and keep headlights on.
Conditions begin to stabilize later today, but colder air settles in again by tonight. Temperatures will fall into the mid-20s, allowing any remaining moisture to refreeze. That raises the risk of “flash freezing,” particularly on elevated surfaces and shaded areas by early Monday.
By Monday afternoon, sunshine returns with highs near 45°F, signaling a shift. The warming trend continues into Tuesday with highs near 52°F, followed by 58°F Wednesday. This rapid rebound will help melt lingering snow but could create runoff and wet roadways.
Meteorologists are tracking a return of moisture later in the week. By Thursday night into Friday, scattered rain showers develop, with precipitation chances increasing toward 50%. Severe weather is not expected, but brief downpours and gusty winds remain possible.
Take action now: drive cautiously this morning, watch for icy spots later, and prepare for changing conditions.
Cold and snow impacts ease after Monday, with additional updates expected as temperatures and precipitation trends evolve.
