Marquette, MI – A frigid blast is sweeping across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula Monday, bringing clearer skies but bitter cold that will linger through early Tuesday.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service Marquette, the region is transitioning from the recent winter storm into a colder, calmer stretch. While skies are expected to clear by afternoon, early morning hours brought blustery northerly winds at 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph along Lake Superior’s shoreline.
Daytime highs across the U.P. will range from 28°F to 38°F, but overnight lows are forecast to plummet. Western interior areas could see temperatures drop into the single digits, with many locations experiencing lows between 5°F and 20°F. The cold follows an active weather pattern that left snow accumulation across roads, prompting slippery conditions and ongoing travel cautions.
Looking ahead, forecasters warn of a possible midweek wintry mix system. Minor to moderate impacts are possible across the U.P., particularly in areas exposed to gusty winds and lingering snowpack.
Residents should dress in layers, monitor local alerts, and drive cautiously on icy roads. As always, check with the Michigan Department of Transportation for updated travel conditions and potential advisories.
