Duluth, MN – Dangerous heat and the threat of severe storms continue to grip Duluth and much of northeast Minnesota through Saturday, with damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes possible. According to the National Weather Service, a Heat Advisory remains in effect for parts of northwest Wisconsin and Pine County, MN as high temperatures soar into the upper 80s and low 90s, paired with muggy humidity and high dewpoints.
Severe storms are most likely Friday morning and again this afternoon into tonight, bringing the greatest risks to highways from Duluth east to Ashland and south along I-35. Winds over 60 mph and large hail could down trees and power lines, while heavy rain may lead to brief street flooding.

Anyone with outdoor events or travel plans should monitor conditions closely and seek shelter as soon as warnings are issued.
