Duluth, MN – Gray skies and a brisk Lake Superior breeze greet Duluth this Sunday morning, but it’s the next 48 hours that will bring real change. After a calm, cool day, clouds will thicken tonight ahead of a developing system expected to push rain and gusty winds into the region Monday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, showers will become widespread by midmorning Monday, with winds gusting up to 25 mph. Highs will hover near 55°F, and steady rainfall may create slick roads and reduced visibility through early evening. Those with Monday commutes should allow extra time and keep both hands on the wheel as breezy southerly winds shift west behind the front.
Tuesday keeps the unsettled pattern alive with on-and-off showers and highs around 46°F. By Wednesday, drier air filters in but cooler temperatures take hold — a clear sign the Northland’s seasonal shift is accelerating. Lows may dip into the mid-30s Wednesday night, setting up a potential first frost for inland valleys and sheltered spots by Thursday morning.
The second half of the week trends brighter and calmer, though highs will struggle to reach the upper 40s. By next weekend, daytime temperatures may rebound slightly, but the chill will linger — perfect for bonfires and late fall cleanup before winter’s first true bite arrives.
