Duluth, MN – Drivers across northern Minnesota should prepare for dangerous travel conditions late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as dense fog blankets the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, fog is expected to develop around midnight and increase in coverage toward sunrise. By early Wednesday, the heaviest impacts are likely along the North Shore and much of northeast Minnesota, where widespread dense fog could reduce visibility to near zero in spots.
Forecasters warned that Dense Fog Advisories may be issued again for parts of the region, depending on how conditions evolve overnight. The weather service cautioned motorists to allow extra travel time, use headlights, and avoid high speeds when visibility is reduced.
The timing of the fog coincides with Wednesday’s morning commute, which could create delays for drivers heading toward Duluth, the Iron Range, and communities along Lake Superior.
Patchy fog is also possible further inland, but the most widespread impacts are expected in northeastern Minnesota. The weather service noted that conditions should gradually improve by late Wednesday morning as the fog lifts.
Travelers are urged to check for updated forecasts and advisories before heading out, as visibility may change quickly depending on location.
