Duluth, MN — Northeast Minnesota is set for a mixed bag of weather this week, with rain and possible slushy snowflakes expected Wednesday. Residents are advised to prepare for slick roads and reduced visibility, especially on Wednesday as an 80% chance of rain moves through the area, with snow possible in higher elevations and more northern locations.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, light rain is expected to start early Wednesday morning, continuing through the day with a 10% chance of snow flurries mixing in. No snow accumulation is anticipated, but temperatures will hover between 38 and 47 degrees, with lows dropping to the mid-30s. Travelers should exercise caution on regional highways, including I-35 and U.S. Route 2, where slick spots may develop.
The mid-week wet spell is expected to taper off by Thursday, though cloudy skies and a 20% chance of rain showers remain. Highs will reach the mid-40s, with lows dipping into the low 30s. Looking ahead, Friday is forecasted to be mostly sunny, with highs climbing to 51 degrees, offering a brief break from damp conditions.
For those planning outdoor activities this week, Friday and Saturday provide the best weather windows. Saturday’s high of 50 degrees and partly sunny skies make it ideal for last-minute autumn excursions before colder air settles in.
Stay informed on real-time conditions, as brisk winds throughout the week may make temperatures feel colder. Updates from the National Weather Service suggest carrying an umbrella and dressing warmly to stay comfortable in the chilly, damp air.
