DULUTH, MN – A calm, cool dawn settles over the North Shore this Saturday, but change is already stirring just beyond the horizon. After a quiet start, Duluth will see a stretch of classic late-October weather — bright, breezy, and briefly warm — before clouds and light showers move in early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, southerly winds will strengthen through Sunday, gusting between 15 and 25 mph. Highs climb into the mid to upper 50s today, reaching near 57°F Sunday under mostly sunny skies. The breeze off Lake Superior will feel brisk at times, especially along the shoreline and elevated areas like Skyline Parkway. Residents planning outdoor cleanup or late-season yard work should take advantage of the mild stretch through Monday afternoon.
A weak front slides through late Monday into Tuesday, bringing scattered showers and cooler air behind it. Rain chances increase to around 30–40%, but totals should stay light — less than a tenth of an inch. Winds turn northwest by Tuesday, ushering in drier, more seasonable air with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s midweek.
No early snow signals are showing yet, but models hint at colder air building by the start of November — a reminder that winter is not far behind. Trick-or-treaters may want to layer up later in the week as temps dip toward freezing.
