Duluth, Minn. – Hot, humid air will settle across Minnesota Tuesday, with conditions setting the stage for possible evening thunderstorms that could turn severe. Large hail and damaging winds remain the main threats if storms manage to develop.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, uncertainty remains high due to poor overlap in storm ingredients. That means while not every city will see storms, any that do form could quickly intensify into isolated severe cells. Forecasters highlight the greatest risk stretching from northeastern Minnesota down toward the South Shore of Lake Superior.
Communities including Duluth, Hibbing, and Grand Rapids should be prepared for rapidly changing weather after sunset. Drivers along U.S. Highway 53 and I-35 could face sudden downpours, gusty winds, and reduced visibility during the evening commute. Emergency officials advise residents to secure outdoor items, keep phones charged, and remain alert for warnings.
Warm, summer-like air is expected to linger through midweek, with another round of unsettled weather possible by Thursday. The National Weather Service urges Minnesotans to monitor updates as additional advisories could be issued later today.
