DULUTH, MN – Northern Minnesota residents should prepare for a damp Saturday evening as light rain is set to move into the Duluth area. The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts rain accumulation up to 0.25 inches, with most areas seeing slightly less. The rain is expected to taper off by early Sunday morning, leaving a drier start to the day. Residents and travelers should be cautious on slick roads, particularly along major routes such as Highway 61, where reduced visibility and wet pavement could impact evening travel.
According to the NWS, clouds will begin to build on Saturday afternoon with a 30% chance of showers by evening. Rain is likely to intensify overnight, reaching an 80% chance, and continuing until the early hours of Sunday. By mid-morning Sunday, skies should clear gradually, and temperatures will reach a high of about 50°F. Sunday evening is expected to bring cooler conditions, with lows around 38°F.
The forecast also shows a sunny and breezy Veterans Day on Monday, ideal for outdoor events, with temperatures peaking around 45°F. A west wind of 10 to 15 mph could add a slight chill, so attendees at local parades or ceremonies might want to dress warmly.
The extended forecast looks clear beyond Veterans Day, with partly sunny conditions continuing into Tuesday. Highs will remain in the mid-40s, while overnight lows drop to the low 30s. Duluth residents are encouraged to plan for a mix of cool and dry weather in the early part of the week, making it a good time for any outdoor fall cleanup before colder temperatures arrive.
Stay updated with the latest forecasts and plan accordingly to make the most of the upcoming weekend and holiday.
