Marquette is waking up to a cold, gray morning, with temperatures hovering around 32°F and a damp chill settling across the Lake Superior shoreline. The air feels raw and still, making it a slow start to the day despite spring trying to make its presence felt.
Conditions gradually improve through the afternoon as clouds begin to break. Some sunshine is expected to return, helping temperatures inch up to around 40°F. While that’s a slight relief, the bigger weather shift is just around the corner.
Tonight, skies clear again, but temperatures drop close to 30°F. That brings a risk of slick spots, especially on bridges and untreated roads where leftover moisture may freeze. Drivers should stay cautious during late-night and early-morning travel.
Saturday offers a brief break from the gloom. Sunshine dominates, and temperatures rebound to near 50°F, giving residents a short-lived taste of milder spring weather.
However, the calm doesn’t last long.
By late Saturday into Sunday, a stronger system moves into the Upper Peninsula. Rain chances surge to nearly 90%, with steady showers expected. Winds will also pick up, with gusts reaching up to 30 mph, potentially impacting travel on routes like US-41 and M-28.
Sunday looks wet and unsettled, with temperatures rising into the upper 50s and even a slight chance of thunder.
Showers may linger into early next week, keeping conditions damp and unpredictable across the region.
