Marquette County Sheriff offers heat wave tips, shares cooling center locations

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WBUP/WJMN) — Yoopers in Marquette County may be finding themselves a bit out of their element with the extreme heat in the "up north." Here are some tips and cooling centers, courtesy of Marquette County Sheriff's Office. They recommend the following: Slow down. Strenuous activities should be reduced, eliminated, or rescheduled to the coolest time of the day. Individuals at risk should stay in the coolest available place, not necessarily indoors.Dress for summer. Lightweight, light-colored clothing reflects heat and sunlight, and helps your body maintain normal temperatures.Foods (like proteins) that increase metabolic heat production also increase water loss.Drink plenty of water or non-alcoholic fluids. Your body needs water to keep cool. Drink plenty of fluids even if you don't feel thirsty.Do not drink alcoholic beverages.Spend more time in air-conditioned places. Air conditioning in homes and other buildings markedly reduces danger from the heat. If you cannot afford an air conditioner, spending some time each day (during hot weather) in an air conditioned environment affords some protection.Don't get too much sun. Sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult. Do not leave pets in unoccupied vehicles. In response to the extreme heat and humidity being experienced

Little relief from the heat tonight; hot temperatures return Tuesday

Most of Michigan's Upper Peninsula remains under an Extreme Heat Warning through Tuesday evening. Temperatures Monday Night will stay in the 70s and 80s, offering little relief before high temperatures of 90s to around 100 return Tuesday afternoon. Another hot day on Tuesday. 100+ is possible for the South-Central U.P. Lake breezes may pick up the pace a little, leading to locally cooler temperatures near some shorelines of the Great Lakes. Wednesday the heat continues away from Lake Superior. More of an onshore wind off of Lake Superior will send temperatures in the cooler direction for the Marquette area and closer to the Lake Superior shoreline. Cooler for all by the end of the week with high temperatures returning back into the 70s and 80s. Most U.P. locations will stay dry through Thursday. There is a slight chance of rain or a thunderstorm on Tuesday evening. Most U.P. locations should stay dry though. Better rain chances may show up for Friday and Saturday.

FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Heat Warning today, storms possible tonight

WEATHER STORY: A Heat Dome is set to send our thermometer readings up from Saturday to Tuesday. That’s when a high pressure system parks over a region and uses its three heat makers to warm things up: southerly winds, compressional heating from sinking air and extra solar radiation from a clear sky. Northern Minnesota will get it the hottest from this this heat wave but Wisconsin and the U.P. will be toasty as well. Normals: 55 for low and 76 for high. This is the week the average normal temps start to drop again but nobody told Mama Nature that.

Upper Peninsula deer population struggles with severe winter conditions

MICHIGAN — Severe winter conditions have led to widespread signs of starvation in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula white-tailed deer population, according to wildlife biologists from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The agency is utilizing specialized technology, the Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS), to monitor snow depth. This past winter, 2025-26, marked the third severe winter in the region in the past five years and was the fourth-most severe since 2003. The Upper Peninsula recorded 111 days with at least 12 inches of snow on the ground this winter, significantly hampering the deer herd. DNR biologists conduct field necropsies on vehicle-killed deer, examining bone marrow fat as an indicator of nutritional status. Deer exhibiting red, gelatinous marrow have no fat reserves and often succumb to starvation. Biologists define a severe winter as one with 90 or more days with a U.P.-wide average snow depth of at least one foot. The past winter, 2025-26, followed previous harsh seasons; the winter of 2024-25 was classified as moderate overall but included severe conditions in large portions of the peninsula. Additionally, the winters of 2021-22 and 2022-23 were severe, though the winter of 2023-24 was mild. Mid-March blizzards in 2026 dumped 3 feet of snow

NWS to evaluate possible tornado in Upper Peninsula Tuesday night

ALGER COUNTY, Mich. (WJMN/WBUP) — The National Weather Service is expected to evaluate whether a tornado touched down in the Upper Peninsula Tuesday night. Around 6:30 p.m., the storm system triggered a severe thunderstorm warning in Dickinson and Menominee counties. Around an hour later, the same system began exhibiting signs it could produce a tornado in Alger County southeast of Chatham. The NWS forecasted up top quarter-sized hail and winds up to 60 mph. Shortly after 7:20 p.m., My UP's Chief Meteorologist Tom Kippen noticed signs of rotation in the supercell thunderstorm passing south of Trenary. The supercell produced a rotating wall cloud, which is observed right before a tornado forms. Videos shared with My UP News show the wall cloud, but it remains unclear whether it touched the ground, which is the defining factor for a tornado. On Wednesday, meteorologists with the National Weather Service are expected to conduct a storm survey. That means they will visit the location(s) they suspect a tornado may have touched down in search of tree damage that suggests touchdown occurred. Do you have photos or video of the weather event?
