Marquette, Mich. – Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will gradually taper off across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula this evening, but dense fog may still create hazardous driving conditions—especially near Lake Superior.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, the unsettled weather will diminish by late evening, with westerly winds shifting northwest at 5 to 15 mph. However, dense fog is expected to develop overnight, particularly along the Lake Superior shoreline, where visibility could quickly drop to near zero.
Communities including Houghton, Munising, and Marquette should prepare for reduced visibility on local highways such as US-41 and M-28. Travelers are urged to slow down, use low beams, and avoid non-essential travel during foggy periods. Temperatures will dip into the 40s by early Tuesday, with lakeside areas remaining slightly milder near 51°F.
This damp and foggy setup is typical for early June along the UP shoreline, where lake-effect humidity can trap moisture overnight.
Drivers should remain cautious through early Tuesday morning as fog lingers near the lake. Additional advisories may be issued if visibility continues to worsen overnight.
