Marquette, MI – Thunderstorms could rattle the Upper Peninsula again Sunday, bringing rain, lightning, and possible travel disruptions along major routes such as US-41 and M-28.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, scattered storms are expected Sunday afternoon and evening. The strongest storms may produce gusty winds and heavy rainfall, creating sudden downpours that reduce visibility and leave roads slick. Residents in Marquette, Houghton, and Ironwood should stay alert for quickly changing weather.
Drivers are urged to use caution on highways, particularly US-41 and M-28, where wet pavement and pooling water may increase the risk of hydroplaning. Outdoor events could face delays or cancellations if thunderstorms develop. Officials stress that residents should move indoors at the first sound of thunder and report hail or wind damage to the Marquette office.
The unsettled weather pattern continues into next week. After Sunday’s storm risk, skies clear briefly on Monday before another round of rain chances returns midweek. By Tuesday and Wednesday, conditions improve significantly with mostly sunny skies and warmer highs in the 60s and 70s.
Residents are encouraged to keep devices charged and limit unnecessary travel during stronger storms. The National Weather Service may issue additional statements if severe conditions develop.
