Duluth, MN – A quiet weather pattern is settling in across Minnesota’s Northland, with only minor snow chances today before a gradual warming trend takes hold through the end of the workweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, today will start off breezy with considerable cloud cover and scattered snow showers, mainly during the morning and early afternoon hours. Snow showers are expected to be light, with minimal accumulation, but brief reductions in visibility are possible along Interstate 35, US-53, and MN-61, particularly during periods of gusty winds.
Behind today’s system, conditions improve quickly. Wednesday is expected to be mostly sunny, marking the calmest day of the week, before cloud cover gradually increases again Thursday and Friday. Despite increasing clouds later in the week, no significant precipitation is expected after today.
Temperatures will follow a steady warming trend, with highs climbing from the 20s today into the upper 20s and low 30s by Wednesday, then reaching the mid to upper 30s and near 40 degrees by Friday. Overnight lows will remain seasonably cold but moderate slightly as the week progresses.
Wind speeds will be strongest today, gradually decreasing by Wednesday as the pressure gradient relaxes. The National Weather Service notes that no hazardous travel conditions are expected beyond today’s brief snow showers, and roads should remain in good condition for the remainder of the week.
The overall pattern favors stable weather, making this a quieter stretch compared to recent active periods. Commuters, students, and outdoor workers will notice improving comfort levels as temperatures rise toward the end of the week.
Residents traveling across the Northland should remain alert for early-day snow showers today, then expect improving conditions and milder temperatures through Friday.
