Freeze Warning Targets Inland Upper Peninsula Overnight as Lows Near 28°F

Clear, calm conditions will drive radiational cooling that chills interior valleys before temperatures recover Wednesday.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service in Marquette issued a Freeze Warning from midnight to 10 a.m. EDT Wednesday, October 8.
  • The alert covers Baraga, Delta, Dickinson, Iron, Marquette, Menominee, Gogebic, Ontonagon, and southern Houghton counties.
  • Interior valleys and upland areas are forecast to dip to around 28°F, with the coldest readings away from the Great Lakes.
  • Coastal areas, including parts of the Keweenaw Peninsula and eastern Upper Michigan, are under Frost Advisories with lows a few degrees above freezing.
  • Officials advise covering or bringing in sensitive plants and protecting outdoor plumbing; earlier freeze watches were upgraded as models signaled stronger overnight cooling, with a southwesterly flow expected to return near-seasonal temperatures later Wednesday.
