Duluth, MN – A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for central to northeast Minnesota, including the Duluth area, until 10 a.m. Monday. Motorists on I-35 and nearby roadways are urged to exercise caution as visibility may be reduced to a quarter mile or less. This heavy fog could impact early morning commutes and raise safety risks for drivers navigating through low-visibility conditions.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, fog is expected to thicken overnight, potentially expanding into additional areas. Drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights, and allow extra following distance. Conditions may vary, with patches of thicker fog forming in low-lying areas and along rivers and lakes. The fog, combined with damp road surfaces, may also make roads slick, increasing the risk of traffic incidents.
After the fog clears by late Monday morning, rain is anticipated across the area with patchy dense fog likely lingering into the early afternoon. Highs will reach around 54 degrees, with southeast winds between 5 to 10 mph. Rain will continue into Monday night, with a low around 42 degrees, providing much-needed moisture before cooler temperatures set in.
The weather for the rest of the week remains unsettled. Tuesday brings another chance of rain, with daytime highs near 43 degrees. Skies will begin to clear by Tuesday night, leading into mostly sunny conditions Wednesday, with highs around 49 degrees. By Thursday, Duluth can expect sunny skies and breezy conditions, with highs near 50 degrees, before clouds return Thursday night.
Residents and travelers should stay informed about weather updates, as additional advisories may be issued. Fog can develop rapidly in this region, and caution is advised for anyone planning to be on the road.
