Michigan – Frost clings to windshields and sidewalks feel stiff underfoot this morning as temperatures hover near 30°F across Marquette, creating a brief but real risk for slick spots on untreated roads.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, clear skies and light winds allowed temperatures to dip to 30°F at Sawyer International Airport. That puts bridges, shaded roads, and rural stretches of US-41 at risk for patchy ice early today, especially where moisture lingers. Conditions improve quickly as sunshine strengthens.
By midday, temperatures climb to 56°F under bright skies, offering a calm and comfortable stretch. This is the window to move safely, run errands, and check outdoor drainage areas after recent wet conditions.
Attention then shifts to late Thursday into Friday. A 40% chance of showers develops after early morning hours Thursday night, increasing moisture across Upper Michigan. By Friday afternoon and evening, rain becomes more widespread, with a 70% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms. Roads will turn wet and visibility may drop quickly during heavier bursts.
Saturday brings partial clearing and cooler air, with highs near 51°F. While no snow is expected, nighttime temperatures dipping into the upper 30s could again support slick patches if roads stay damp—classic spring “flash freeze” setup in shaded areas.
Five Day Outlook for Marquette, Michigan:
Today: Sunny, high 56°F
Thursday: Partly sunny, high 62°F
Friday: Showers likely, high 55°F
Saturday: Mostly sunny, high 51°F
Sunday: Mostly sunny, high 54°F
