Duluth, MN – A burst of spring weather is set to shake up Duluth starting Friday, as breezy showers, rising temperatures, and gusty winds move through the city and along key routes like I-35. Warmer air brings a mix of sun and rain, but drivers and outdoor planners should be ready for rapidly changing conditions and potential travel delays.
