The possibility of measurable snow in Michigan during May

MICHIGAN — While May typically brings warmer temperatures and spring blooms to Michigan, measurable snowfall is still possible in some parts of the state during the month.

Historical weather data from the National Weather Service shows that late-season snow has occurred on multiple occasions, particularly in northern and higher-elevation areas.

For example, the Upper Peninsula and parts of northern Lower Michigan have recorded measurable snowfall well into May.

Marquette, located in the Upper Peninsula, has seen snow totals of more than an inch as late as mid-May.

Even cities farther south, such as Grand Rapids and Detroit, have experienced trace or light snowfalls during unusually cold spells in early May.

These events are generally short-lived and rarely cause significant disruption, but they demonstrate that snow in May—though uncommon—is not without precedent in Michigan’s variable climate.
