Marquette, MI – Spring may be here, but winter isn’t finished with Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Marquette and surrounding counties are bracing for continued snow showers Tuesday into Wednesday, with a larger system bringing rain, freezing rain, and snow to the region by Friday.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, overnight lows will dip into the mid-20s with 60% snow shower chances into early Wednesday. Slightly warmer temperatures midweek will offer brief relief, but hazards return Friday as mixed precipitation threatens roadways, especially along U.S. Route 41 and M-28. Travel could be difficult during the Friday morning and afternoon commute.
Residents should monitor Alger, Luce, and Schoolcraft counties where snow totals and freezing rain may be highest. Officials advise keeping extra blankets, food, and water in vehicles through the weekend. Spotters are urged to report snowfall to the National Weather Service via phone or social media.
5-Day Marquette Weather Outlook:
- Wednesday: Mostly sunny, high near 40°F
- Thursday: Clear skies continue, high near 39°F
- Friday: Rain and snow mix, high near 37°F
- Saturday: Snow and freezing rain early, then cloudy, high near 34°F
- Sunday: Snow likely, high around 32°F
Unstable lake ice adds another danger. With daytime highs rising later in the week, ice on interior lakes and rivers becomes more hazardous.
Stay informed through local alerts and plan travel cautiously as spring weather remains unpredictable in Upper Michigan.
