Whether you’re a new driver or experienced, if you see flashing lights, slow down and, if safe to do so, move over. Traffic incident responders’ lives are on the line. All 50 states have Move Over laws for a reason. michigan.gov/msp/divisions/o… #CRSW2026

Rain will be in the forecast for much of this work week with most of the UP seeing around 1 to 2 inches in total. Temperatures will be warmer than normal for November until cooler air arrives late in the week. #906wx #miwx

Windy conditions (20-34mph) at the #MackinacBridge could affect high-profile vehicles (pickup trucks w/campers, motor homes, vehicles pulling trailers, enclosed semi-truck trailers). Reduce speed to 20mph max, turn on 4-way flashers & use outside lane.mackinacbridge.org/fares-tra…

Slow Down, Move Over. Lives Are on the Line. This is Crash Responder Safety Week. You can do your part to protect traffic incident responders by slowing down and moving over as much as possible as they work to provide roadside support and keep our roads clear. #CRSW2026

It's Drowsy Driving Prevention Week! The OHSP encourages drivers to prioritize sleep and to drive only when they are alert and refreshed. Remember that drowsy driving is impaired driving! Learn more at tinyurl.com/3k5tmfvv

Southerly flow will continue across the area through Tuesday as low pressure moves from the Colorado Rockies to the Dakotas. This will result in unseasonably warm temperatures. Skies will mainly be cloudy through the period with increasing rain chances. #906wx #miwx

Dry and mild to start today, but rain chances increase late...and rain chances hang on through much of the rest of the week. Unseasonably warm temps continue as well. #miwx #northernmichigan

Expect quiet and mainly dry weather across the U.P. today through the weekend. Saturday should provide some good trick-or-treat weather with temperatures in the 50s. #906wx #miwx

Cooler conditions today, gives way to above normal temps into early next week. Mainly dry weather will continue through Monday, with rain chances returning Monday night and beyond. Current trends support very good weather for trick-or-treating Halloween evening.

Mostly dry weather is favored heading into the Halloweekend save for some spotty lake effect rain showers in the far eastern UP on Friday. Warmer than normal temperatures persist through the end of October into early November. #906wx #miwx

Rain showers, perhaps a rumble of thunder, will diminish this morning. By 2 pm, any rain should be done, and cloud cover will be decreasing. Some rain showers may return tonight to the eastern UP. Quiet weather ahead for several days after that, including Halloween.
