Duluth, MN – Minnesota is facing a significant weather event as heavy rainfall continues to move through the area. The US National Weather Service in Duluth has issued warnings of localized flooding, with the heaviest rain expected from central Minnesota to northwest Wisconsin. Rainfall totals are predicted to reach up to 1.16 inches in some areas, including Phillips, Hayward, and Siren. Residents should prepare for potential flooding, especially in low-lying areas. The forecast predicts continued rain through Saturday and Sunday, with the highest chance of storms on Sunday.
According to the Weather Service, the typical daytime heating will destabilize the atmosphere, causing scattered showers and thunderstorms. The jet stream largely avoiding the Northland is keeping widespread rain at bay, but localized downpours remain a concern. The National Weather Service advises residents to stay informed about changing weather conditions and to take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
