WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Marquette Michigan >> One last warm and sunny day is expected to start off the work week, with afternoon highs ranging in the 40s and 50s. However, things quickly take a turn as a winter storm heads towards the region. This kicks off an initial batch of light snow late tonight, persisting into Tuesday morning. A brief break Tuesday afternoon will be followed by more light to moderate snow Tuesday evening through Wednesday. Exact amounts remain uncertain, but confidence is increasing in at least a few inches of snow for much of the area by Wednesday evening. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #sooOne last warm and sunny day is expected to start off the work week, with afternoon highs ranging in the 40s and 50s.

Raco/Bay Mills update from Brimley Bill-
“This morning I groomed the power line and Mission Hill Loop 889. The trails were beat up from the high sled traffic yesterday, but there was plenty of snow to work with. I was able to cut down and fill in the moguls, even in the winding section of 889. I was out and done before any sled traffic, so there trails should be set up nice and solid.”
Awesome job Bill! ❄️❄️❄️
Our crews were busy last night! I ran the city trails with Jay, and we got 497 open! Yay! Not many pics as I was the operator for the majority of the run last night. Jay hopped in the seat to help with 497 in the really gnarly spots. It’s looking great now! I used the limb masher A LOT to clean up some overhanging brush. More needs to be done, but I got some big ones out of the way!
Chris warns that trail 49 south of 12 mile still has some wet spots. We simply need more snow to be able to pack them. It’s coming!
I haven’t heard from the Raco crew but I know they were out last night too.
If you’re riding today, we hope you enjoy our overnight efforts!

We’re almost through the warm up! Definitely saw a lot of melting today at 48 degrees, but as you can see, trails are still thick with base. It’s not pretty, but it sure as heck isn’t over!
Snow and colder temps return tonight. Snow chances increase too. I know that there will be spots with water holes opening up. It’ll obviously take time to get through them all once conditions improve, so please be extra cautious and report what you see if you don’t mind.
Thanks all!
A look at trail 8 at Oak St and at 4th Ave in the Soo at 5:45 PM today. #soo #soo0309b #snowphotos 
Good morning all!
With temps expected to hit 48 here today, groomers remain parked.
It looks like tomorrow into Wednesday is when the shift happens and we might be able to send them out.
No doubt trails are slushy with standing water on top of ice in spots.
Chances for measurable snow increase ahead of and into the weekend as of today’s future forecast.
Looking at Groomer Tracker, all of the clubs in the EUP that participate are also waiting it out.
My snow gauge shows around 2’ still on the ground. Trails likely still have a foot of base in most areas. Some spots will have less, some more.
We’ll keep you posted! #soo #soo0309 #snowphotos

Snow is likely today, March 7th, 2026 on the backside of the low pressure system moving through, while parts of southern Michigan reach the mid-60s today. Most of the snow will fall along the spine of the western Upper Peninsula, where 2-5" of fresh snow is possible in the cornflower blue coloring. 1-3" of snow also possible in nearby Baraga and western Marquette county. A trace to 1" is possible for all areas in white, but most of these areas won't see more than a couple flurries mixed in with light freezing drizzle. Snow should be done by 10 pm EST across the Upper Peninsula.
The rest of the state will be dealing with temperatures in the 40s to 60s with showers and thunderstorms, clearing by late evening. This will set the stage for a mostly sunny Sunday ahead. We got you covered as always right here at Michigan Storm Chasers, no matter the weather. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #petoskey #gaylordWe gained a bunch of new followers here at MSC, so for those who are new here, welcome!
