Duluth, Minnesota – Snow flurries and gusty winds impacting parts of northeastern Minnesota are expected to taper off Tuesday evening, with quieter weather and a gradual warming trend developing through the end of the workweek.
According to the US National Weather Service in Duluth, isolated snow flurries will end early tonight, followed by clearing skies later in the evening. Overnight low temperatures are forecast to fall between 8 and 14 degrees, with winds gradually becoming lighter. Breezy conditions may linger longer along the North Shore, particularly near Minnesota Highway 61.
By Wednesday, calmer conditions are expected across the region. Daytime highs will range from the low to mid-30s, with continued warming into Thursday and Friday. Forecast highs are expected to reach the upper 30s Thursday and climb into the low 40s by Friday, marking a noticeable shift from recent colder conditions.
Travel impacts are expected to be minimal after tonight, though drivers should remain cautious on untreated roads during the late evening and early morning hours. Areas near Interstate 35, US Highway 53, and local connectors around Duluth, Proctor, and Superior may still experience slick spots where snow flurries or blowing snow occurred earlier.
The National Weather Service indicates the warming trend will continue into the weekend, with generally quiet weather expected. No significant snow systems or winter weather advisories are currently in effect for the Northland.
This forecast may be especially relevant for commuters, students, and young workers traveling early mornings, as colder overnight temperatures could allow for patchy refreeze before sunrise despite improving daytime conditions.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated through official National Weather Service channels as conditions evolve later this week.
