Key Messages Today: Clearing skies, highs from the upper 30s along Lake Superior to near 50 in the south. Saturday starts quiet, but rain and thunder chances spread west to east Saturday PM through Monday AM. Widespread rain around 1 inch expected. This with a substantial snowpack (right) that is still melting will contribute to rising rivers!
With the forecast pointing towards a more spring-like pattern over the next week, let’s take a look at where we stand in terms of seasonal snowfall totals. The snow we received earlier this week was enough to push us into second place all-time at the forecast office in Negaunee Township, with the period of record dating back to 1959. The winter of 2025-2026 now trails only the winter of 2001-2002 in terms of seasonal snowfall at our office, although it would still take nearly another 4 feet of snow this season to catch up to the 319.8 inches we accumulated back in 2001-2002!
