Marquette, MI – Residents across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula can expect scattered light lake-effect snow showers tonight, followed by a brief warm-up midweek before colder, windier conditions arrive by Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, light lake-effect snow is expected tonight in northwest wind snowbelts, with less than one inch of accumulation. Overnight temperatures are forecast to range from about 5 degrees below zero to 5 degrees above zero.
On Wednesday, forecasters say a few lake-effect flurries may continue, but little to no accumulation is expected. High temperatures will climb into the low to mid-20s across much of the region, offering a short break from harsher winter cold.
Warmer air moves in Thursday, with highs reaching the upper 20s to mid-30s in far western Upper Michigan. Another round of light snow is possible from Thursday into early Friday, with snowfall totals ranging from 1 to 3 inches in some areas.
Conditions are expected to change quickly Friday as a strong cold front moves through the region. The National Weather Service warns temperatures will fall throughout the day, accompanied by gusty winds and the potential for blowing snow—especially near Lake Superior. Additional accumulation may occur early Friday morning before colder air settles in.
Drivers are urged to stay alert for changing road conditions, particularly during the Friday morning commute when falling temperatures and wind could reduce visibility.
