Port Huron Daily Briefing – February 7, 2026

Good morning, Port Huron. Here’s a quick look at what’s happening locally as of Saturday, February 7, 2026.

Parole checks uncover violations across St. Clair County

Port Huron’s Major Crimes Unit teamed up with state corrections officers for a coordinated round of 25 parole compliance checks at homes in St. Clair County. Officers report that 15 parolees were following the rules, while 10 were found in violation of their supervision terms, leading to new investigations and several arrests.

Two people were taken into custody on outstanding warrants from neighboring Sanilac County. Officers also seized multiple phones over suspected sexually abusive material, along with drugs, weapons and alcohol that are barred under parole conditions. The sweep was run by a regional task force that includes local police, sheriff’s deputies, state police and federal border agencies, all focused on monitoring high‑risk offenders.

Township zoning board meeting canceled for lack of business

Port Huron Township officials say the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting that had been scheduled for Thursday, February 19, at 7 p.m. has been canceled because there are no cases to hear and a lack of agenda items.

The board is typically called together only when specific zoning questions or hardship appeals are filed. Residents tracking development issues are encouraged to keep an eye on the township calendar for the next scheduled meeting and related public notices.

Bitter cold and slick roads after Friday’s snow

After Friday’s burst of light snow, forecasters are warning that northwest winds and falling temperatures will keep Port Huron locked in a deep freeze through this morning. A cold weather advisory for the region calls for wind chills dropping as low as 15 to 20 degrees below zero, especially overnight and early today.

Drivers should expect slick spots on bridges, ramps and side streets where yesterday’s snow compacted into ice. Residents are urged to bundle up, limit time outdoors, and check on older neighbors, as exposed skin can frostbite quickly in these temperatures. Skies should turn sunnier later today, but daytime highs will still run well below freezing before a gradual warm‑up early next week.
