Duluth, Minnesota – A stretch of summer heat returns to Minnesota Monday, July 28, with thunderstorms possible and highs climbing into the mid-80s across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, Monday will bring mostly sunny skies with a high near 84°F. Areas along and south of US Highway 2 could see isolated thunderstorms late Monday into early Tuesday morning. Some storms may bring gusty winds and brief downpours, although widespread severe weather is not expected.
Humidity will surge through Monday, creating muggy conditions across the Northland. Residents should hydrate, limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak heat, and monitor local alerts for any storm development.
Although most of Monday will stay dry, the overnight chance of storms adds potential disruptions for early Tuesday commutes, especially near southern St. Louis County and Carlton.
