We appear to be heading into a stretch of dare I say fantastic weather at least when it comes to the temperatures in Duluth with nothing too warm or too cold expected over the next 10 days with highs mostly in the mid 70s to low 80s with overnight lows in the 50s.
The Northland will generally be in a northwest flow aloft in the coming days which can sometimes be a little unsettled during the summer, and sure enough will likely see isolated to scattered coverage rains in the Northland Tuesday through Thursday, with Wednesday and Thursday looking like the greatest chance for more widespread showers and a few thunderstorms as will see an actual trough and cold front pass through the area along with some upper-level energy approaching from the northwest.
NAM 500mb forecast through 7 AM Thursday.
The brighter colors on the loop below represents stronger lift in the atmosphere and times when we could see greater coverage of showers and possibly some thunderstorms.
