MNA Duluth This weekend, a winter storm is expected to hit northern Minnesota, bringing with it dangerously low temperatures and a lot of snow. Drivers should be ready for challenging circumstances, particularly on Highway 53 and I-35.
Snowfall is expected to start late Friday night and last until Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service. The Iron Range and Arrowhead region may receive 2 to 6 inches, with the areas closest to Walker, Aitkin, and Hinckley seeing the most accumulation. Road visibility may be lowered by blowing snow caused by gusty winds.
Temperatures will drop as Arctic air moves in by Sunday. Overnight lows could go below -10 F, while Duluth’s highs will barely make it to double digits. Early next week, there may be a chance for Cold Weather Advisories due to wind chills of -25 F or lower.
Residents should restrict their time outside, wear layers, and take precautions against hypothermia and frostbite. Travel may become hazardous due to icy roads and low visibility, therefore drivers are advised to bring an emergency kit.
Keep abreast of the most recent forecasts and be ready for dangerous winter weather this weekend throughout northern Minnesota.
