Duluth, Minnesota – Strong thunderstorms could sweep across northern Minnesota on Monday, bringing damaging winds and hail to cities from Bemidji to Duluth and the Iron Range.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, a potent low-pressure system will move into the region late Sunday, increasing the risk for severe weather through Monday, April 28. The greatest potential for strong to severe thunderstorms centers on the yellow-shaded region of the NWS outlook, which includes Grand Rapids, Hibbing, and International Falls.
Communities in north-central and northeastern Minnesota should prepare for heavy rain, frequent lightning, and possible power outages. Outdoor plans may need to be adjusted, especially in areas where travel could be impacted by sudden downpours or debris. Residents are urged to stay weather-aware and have multiple ways to receive alerts.
While forecasters are confident in the storm setup, exact timing and impacts remain uncertain. Monday is currently expected to be the most active day, but thunderstorm chances may persist into Tuesday.
