Recently, we have experienced a persistent weather pattern, with consistent east winds near Lake Superior leading to cool afternoon temperatures for late May. However, this phenomenon is not particularly unusual for the spring season.
Today, May 26th, is the 11th consecutive day of below-average temperatures in Duluth, with May 15th being the last day that recorded an above-average temperature.
We had some isolated showers in the Northland today and expect similar weather on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Note: Tuesday may see slightly better coverage of showers, but areas near Lake Superior, including Duluth, will likely remain dry.

It looks like we’ll finally get a wind shift near Lake Superior on Thursday, bringing westerly winds that will raise afternoon temperatures into the 70s across much of the Northland.

Highs in the 70s and 80s are expected in the Northland from Friday through early next week.
