Duluth, MN – Rain could mix with the season's colder air Wednesday evening, bringing a chance of snow to Duluth before temperatures tumble into the 20s.

According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, a cold front will bring falling temperatures, a chance of rain and snow, and several chilly mornings.
The biggest concern centers on Wednesday evening, when precipitation could mix with snow as temperatures approach freezing.
