Marquette, MI – A gray dawn settles over Lake Superior as steady drizzle coats windshields and pavement across Upper Michigan. The air feels damp and raw — a classic October chill that deepens as another round of rain and gusty winds targets Marquette and surrounding areas through early Tuesday. Drivers can expect slick roads and reduced visibility through midday before conditions briefly ease.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, winds may gust up to 30 mph today as scattered showers linger. Monday brings increasing clouds and a few dry hours before a stronger system sweeps in late that night. By early Tuesday, widespread rain returns with gusts near 25 mph and temperatures only reaching the low 50s.
Showers persist into Wednesday, with highs near 47°F and lows dipping toward the upper 30s. Forecasters note this system’s trailing edge could usher in cooler, more stable air — setting the stage for possible frost late in the week. Residents should prepare gardens and outdoor equipment for colder mornings by Thursday.
Looking toward the weekend, partial clearing and crisp air return Friday into Saturday, with highs climbing into the upper 40s under patchy sun. For now, fall’s wet rhythm continues — but Michigan’s first brush with frost feels closer than ever.
