Duluth, Minnesota – A stretch of pleasant summer weather is settling across northern Minnesota after lingering sprinkles fade, with sunshine, comfortable temperatures and low humidity expected through midweek before warmer air and thunderstorm chances return later this week.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, dry weather is expected tonight through Wednesday as skies become partly cloudy to mostly sunny. Most of the region will remain dry Thursday as well, although far northern Minnesota has a 40% chance of evening showers and thunderstorms.
Overnight lows tonight will drop into the mid-40s to mid-50s, making for one of the cooler nights of the week. Wednesday brings mostly sunny skies with afternoon highs ranging from 70 to 79 degrees before temperatures climb into the upper 70s to upper 80s Thursday. Communities along the North Shore will remain somewhat cooler than inland locations due to the influence of Lake Superior.
Cloud cover will increase Friday as scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms develop later in the day. Travelers and anyone with outdoor plans should monitor the latest forecasts, especially across northern Minnesota where storms could affect afternoon and evening activities.
The warming trend is expected to continue into the weekend, with additional opportunities for showers and thunderstorms as the pattern becomes more active. Forecast updates and any necessary advisories will be issued as confidence in the timing and coverage of late-week storms improves.
