Duluth, MN – Warm, breezy conditions will persist across northern Minnesota today, with temperatures reaching the 60s and 70s. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Duluth warns of increased fire risk, especially near the International Border, due to dry weather and gusty winds.
According to the NWS, the chance of showers today is minimal, with critical fire conditions likely to remain through Friday. A cold front may bring some relief over the weekend, with temperatures cooling to the 50s and 60s by Sunday.
Residents should remain cautious, as the combination of warm air and dry winds can quickly spark wildfires. The NWS urges locals to avoid outdoor burning and follow local fire restrictions. These conditions could persist for several days before cooler air stabilizes the region.
The dry spell is forecast to last through the end of the week. Northern Minnesota residents should stay updated on fire warnings and weather changes, especially as winds continue to pick up speed.
