Michigan is going to showcase all seasons for today, March 26th, 2026. ... #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyGood morning everyone. Michigan is going to showcase all seasons for today, March 26th, 2026. If you're heading north of M-55, a wintry mix will greet you. Snow totals of an inch, perhaps more will be possible, and a snow map will be out in a bit to showcase totals on a statewide basis. Meanwhile, summer is here temporarily as showers and storms move in by late afternoon south of Grand Rapids and Flint. High temperatures will be in the 60s, and even low-70s, especially south of I-94. More warmth means more fuel for storms though, so on a day like today, you should be rooting against warmer high temperatures to avoid severe weather. Speaking of temperatures, just an insane gradient from north to south. High temperatures in the low-20s for the Keweenaw Peninsula, while areas just south of the Michigan state line jump to near 80°F. Precipitation will start early up north, while southern Michigan doesn't start seeing shower activity until afternoon. More details to come in a bit on our severe weather, but the peak timing along and south of I-94 for severe weather will be after 3 pm EDT. Main severe weather hazard today will be very large hail, so it's probably a good idea to protect your valuables today if you're in the southern two rows of counties, just out of an abundance of caution. Bare with us today, it's a lot of information, but we've got you covered from beginning to end.

Lots of people calling and messaging wondering what we expect of the coming weekend? Will the trails be good? Grooming? Well as I just replied to a pm, let me start with this; what some people consider good, others will complain about and call terrible. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> Snow showers will end across the eastern U.P. later this morning as a passing clipper exits the region. Cloudy skies linger through the day, with highs ranging from the mid 30s in the east and near Lake Superior to mid 40s in the west and south-central U.P. Another weak clipper crosses the lake tonight, bringing a chance for some light snow showers across the north. Expect minimal snow accumulations less than inch in most locations. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooSnow showers will end across the eastern U.P. later this morning as a passing clipper exits the region.

While much of the UP picks up an inch or less of snow, higher totals up to 1-3in will be possible over the far eastern UP. Moderate snowfall rates may lead to reduced visibility and slick roadways in the eastern UP during the Tuesday morning commute. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooAfter a quiet and sunny afternoon, expect increasing clouds tonight ahead of a quick batch of light snow showers late tonight into Tuesday morning.

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via TASA Tahquamenon Area Snowmobile Association >> So let me start by saying we are in contact with the DNR about trying to get some more money to finish the season out for grooming. We have enough left for four days unless the DNR comes through. We should know more tomorrow, but we are not grooming until we know what’s going on or we may switch it up to every other day until the end of the season or wait till Friday and groom until we’re done. It’s kind of up in the air right now, but we will let you know.  #newberryUpdate the DNR got us a additional $7000. We will be able to finish this season out thank you everyone for your comments and support !!!! ———————————————————————————————————————————-//-So let me start by saying we are in contact with the DNR about trying to get some more money to finish the season out for grooming.

There will be snow, lots of it more than likely, on our trail system. There may be some rough or bumpy spots, however weather permitting we will groom. As it sits right now, the weather forecast looks like we can groom this afternoon and overnight. Tomorrow is questionable. Thursday Friday and Saturday all are forecasted to be cold so I have every intention on sending groomers out on schedule. Remember, this is Michigan and the weather can change by the time I finish this and get it posted!
In closing I will say this. Come on up and plan to ride. The crazy 8's will be here. There will be snow. There may be some "snirt" especially coming into town. There may be some rough spots. There WILL be the pleasure you get from getting away one final time this season!! Ride right, ride safe.
Trail boss Al. #grandmarais #newberry
We will be grooming all week!
It’s not over!!!!!! #curtis #newberry #snowphotosPicked up a couple fresh inches this morning & it’s still coming down!
We will be grooming all week!
It’s not over!!!!!!
30 degrees this morning and snowing. I`ve got a fresh 2" on my deck from last night too. Here`s what I know on the trails......
Groomer Dave ran the South trail #8 Sunday and said it turned out great.
Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trails yesterday and called them good.
Groomer Glenn hit the Point trails also yesterday and called them good.
It looks like the weather will hold off good enough to finish till the end of the season so come on U.P. this weekend for one last ride!!!!! Of course you can ride into April but we can`t groom after the 31st.

Morning trail report! If I were you I’d skip my coffee and call in sick because Mr Tucker and his trail paver have been working on their snow dance and they are really laying it down. It is amazing on trail 89. Hope to see out here... #grandmarais #newberry #snowphotosFrom groomer Mark.

We were treated to an absolutely stunning sunrise this morning—painted skies, crisp air, and just enough fresh snow to make everything sparkle. ✨
Who else is fired up to ride this week? 🏁
Conditions are shaping up for some seriously great spring snowmobiling—smooth trails, cool temps, and that perfect late-season throttle therapy.
👇 Let’s hear it:
• Where are you riding this week?
• Trail cruising or off trail?
• Who are you riding with?
Drop your plans (and pics if you’ve got ’em 📸🔥) and let’s get the community buzzing!
Winter’s not done yet… and neither are we. Ride safe & ride right! ❄️💨 #newberry #snowphotos
Eh, hour and a half to second stop sign, 10.3 mile, not spinning, good bite but pulling alot of disagreeable heavy snow.
Blade still wants to push up a wad and roll balls off the end.
So, creative dragging it shall be for the time being.
AGAIN, THEY SAY, its actually supposed to get quite cold tonight, what I am able to leave behind is shaved off highs an filled in holes, if it freezes up, should last much longer than the last several grooms.
We shall see. Keep you posted.
10:34 Windy Corners finished, not bragging but its flat, again if temps work with us, it freezes up, should offset any memory underneath, thats what I'm gunning for.
Just turned right to disappear in radio silence, time to get comfy for the long haul,I'll keep you posted later. 😊 #newberry #snowphotos
Years may pass, faces may change, but the memories made here keep growing stronger. Watching families, friends, and now the next generation experience the same joy on these trails is truly a blessing.
Grateful for the past, thankful for the present, and excited for the future. ❄️
