Duluth, MN – North-Central Minnesota is facing dense fog this morning, especially around Duluth and Interstate 35. Residents are advised to drive cautiously due to reduced visibility, which could significantly impact morning commutes. Cloud cover is expected to ease by the afternoon, allowing for a mix of partly to mostly sunny skies.
According to the National Weather Service, sunny conditions will likely persist through Thursday and Friday, offering a brief respite from the fog and cooler temperatures. However, another system is anticipated to move into the region on Saturday, bringing increasing cloud cover and a renewed chance of rain by Saturday afternoon into the evening. This shift in weather could disrupt late-weekend travel plans, particularly along I-35, as wet roads may create hazardous conditions.
Thursday’s forecast calls for temperatures ranging from 27°F at night to highs near 49°F, with skies clearing progressively throughout the day. Friday will follow a similar trend, with lows in the mid-30s and highs reaching up to 55°F under mostly sunny skies. By Saturday, expect increased cloudiness in the morning, with rain showers beginning in the late afternoon and continuing overnight, potentially impacting roadways across the region.
