Duluth, MN – A dangerous Arctic cold front will grip Minnesota this weekend, bringing subzero temperatures, strong winds, and hazardous travel conditions. Wind chills as low as -40°F are expected, making frostbite possible within minutes.

According to the National Weather Service, Sunday and Washington’s Birthday will be particularly brutal, with highs struggling to reach single digits and wind gusts up to 25 mph. Snow showers are possible along the South Shore, adding to already slick roads. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Carlton and St. Louis Counties until early Saturday morning.

Looking ahead, dangerously cold conditions will persist through midweek. Monday morning could see the coldest temperatures, with additional advisories likely. Drivers should exercise caution, as icy roads and blowing snow will reduce visibility.

Residents should limit outdoor exposure, dress in layers, and ensure pets remain indoors. Anyone traveling should check road conditions at 511mn.org before heading out.

Stay updated with the latest forecasts from the National Weather Service as conditions evolve.
