Sunny start to Friday, with rain returning late

Friday will start mostly sunny across the Duluth region, with temperatures warming to afternoon highs in the lower 70s. Winds will fortunately be much lighter as well, with gusts mainly under 25 mph and sustained winds only at 10-20 mph out of the west-northwest. Into Friday night, we will be looking out for a few showers to push into the area as temperatures cool into the mid-50s.

For Saturday, a cloudier start to the day will turn over to partly sunny skies by the afternoon. A stray sprinkle is not completely out of the question, but otherwise, we look dry and quiet. Temperatures top out in the low 70s.

The tail end of the weekend looks more on the sunny side, followed by some more rain chances into Tuesday. Looking beyond then, a bit of a warm-up looks likely into the midweek with temperatures back into the mid- to upper 70s.
