Duluth, MN – Below-freezing temperatures are expected across Minnesota on Saturday before a significant warm-up early next week. Highs will reach the 40s and 50s by Monday before a storm system brings rain and snow by Tuesday and Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service Duluth, a messy weather system is expected midweek. Parts of the Northland may see snow accumulation, while lower elevations could experience a rain-snow mix. Cities such as Duluth, Grand Rapids, and International Falls could be affected.
Saturday will be the coldest day, with temperatures dropping well below freezing. The warm-up on Monday will provide temporary relief before colder air returns with the midweek storm. Precipitation chances increase Tuesday, peaking Wednesday at 40-50% for many areas.
Drivers should prepare for potentially slick conditions by midweek, especially in areas where snow transitions to rain. Those traveling through northern Minnesota should monitor forecasts closely for updates.
The storm system will move out by Thursday, with drier conditions returning late next week. Residents should stay updated on changing conditions through the National Weather Service.
