Marquette, MI — Michigan residents should prepare for a damp and potentially hazardous commute on Tuesday as rain showers and patchy fog are expected to blanket the area, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). The extended forecast calls for a rainy start to the week, with cooler temperatures persisting into Wednesday. Commuters should plan for reduced visibility, especially on key routes like US-41, and are advised to exercise caution while traveling.
According to the NWS, rain chances will peak at 80% on Tuesday, with temperatures ranging from a high of 51°F during the day to lows around 47°F at night.
