#miweatherPatchy drizzle and light snow still out there in spots across the Northern Lower and U.P. under cloudy skies. Temps right now are in the 20s and 30s. Things dry out as we head into tonight but some light snow pushes in tomorrow. Tune in tonight at 5 and 6 for the details!
Highs in the 30s... and rain snow mix later in the the week in the forecast for Northern Lower Michigan.... #miweatherFairly quiet weather is expected to continue today into Wednesday morning with a little more active weather likely for the remainder of the work week. Temperatures will generally be a few degrees above normal.
A bah-humbug forecast for Northern Lower Michigan this week.... #miweatherQuiet weather for the next couple days, with a weak system passing by to our north. More active weather returns late week, but as of now there does not seem to be many major impacts.

…Near Freezing Winter Driving…
Temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees, and abundant low level moisture will combine to generate slick driving conditions. These conditions can be common in December, as northern Michigan makes the transition from fall to winter.
Driving with temperatures near freezing can be dangerous, because slick roads can be hard to detect and often have the appearance of simply being wet. Be aware of bridges and overpasses which can freeze quickly as cold air circulates underneath them.
Temperatures will slowly but steadily rise through the week, and the relatively benign weather will continue. It's the type of weather great for 🐕 walking in the winter!
Thought city of Marquette not supposed to getting snow
Ryan Farmer don’t say I didn’t tell ya so
Fairly quiet weather is expected to continue today into Wednesday morning with a little more active weather likely for the remainder of the work week. Temperatures will generally be a few degrees above normal.
The National Weather Service in Marquette, Michigan is looking for a few volunteer weather observers near Brampton Township and the Shag Lakes Area. It is not necessary to be right in the circle, but somewhere in the vicinity. Becoming an observer would require:
1. One daily A.M. precipitation observation at either 7 AM or 8 AM.
2. Willingness for a NWS representative to place measuring instruments on your property and allow one visit per year from the representative.
3. Ownership of a computer with established internet access.
4. Year round residence.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer observer in one of these areas, feel free to respond to this post or message us on Facebook.
Most of the U.P. saw the sun again today with some low clouds hanging around the eastern Upper Michigan counties. Tonight, temperatures will depend predominately on the amount of clouds overhead. Those away from the lake and clouds will likely drop into the low teens to single digits. As the winds switch to the northwest behind a front tonight, a few snowflakes may squeeze their way out in the West, but accumulations will be minimal.
…Warm glow of an early December Sunset…
Clouds slowly diminished across the northern Great Lakes this afternoon, generating a post card, winter scene backdrop, for NWS Gaylord radar.
Yeah, that was a pretty pink and salmon tone colors tonight at sunset.
Beautiful sunset in TC too. First time in ages.
Drive by you guys 6 days a week, would love to see inside the globe.
Quiet weather for the next couple days, with a weak system passing by to our north. More active weather returns late week, but as of now there does not seem to be many major impacts.
