DULUTH, MN — Saturday dawns cool and quiet along the North Shore, but a shift toward classic late-October weather is on the way. Expect a bright, breezy stretch with mild afternoons before clouds and a few light showers arrive to start the new week.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Duluth say southerly winds will ramp up through Sunday, with gusts commonly in the 15 to 25 mph range. Highs today land in the mid to upper 50s, then top out near 57°F on Sunday under plenty of sunshine. The wind off Lake Superior will add a chill, particularly right along the shoreline and on higher terrain such as Skyline Parkway. If you’ve got outdoor chores or late-season yard work to finish, the best window runs through Monday afternoon.
A weak front slips in late Monday into Tuesday, bringing scattered showers and a cool-down behind it. Rain chances sit around 30–40%, and any totals look light—generally under a tenth of an inch. By Tuesday, winds flip to the northwest, ushering in drier, more seasonable air with highs leveling off in the upper 40s to low 50s through midweek.
Snow doesn’t appear in the near-term outlook, but guidance points to colder air building as November begins—a reminder winter is closing in. Halloween plans may call for an extra layer later in the week as nighttime temperatures edge toward freezing.
