Marquette, MI – A winter storm is set to bring heavy snow and frigid temperatures across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula this week, making travel hazardous.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Marquette, Menominee County could see 3 to 5 inches of snow by Tuesday morning, with the heaviest accumulation near the Wisconsin border. Snow-covered roads and reduced visibility will make for a treacherous commute.
Temperatures will drop significantly throughout the week. Highs on Tuesday will struggle to reach 15°F, with wind chills below zero. Wednesday brings a brief break before another round of snow arrives late Wednesday night, lasting into Thursday.
Drivers should allow extra travel time, check local forecasts, and prepare for icy conditions. The NWS warns of potential lake-effect snow near the Lake Superior shoreline later in the week.
Looking ahead, cold air will dominate through the weekend, with lows in the single digits and highs only in the 20s. Snow chances remain through Friday, keeping roads slick. Stay updated with the latest forecasts and plan for difficult travel conditions.
