Monday Morning Northland Forecast: 6/16/2025

Storms Out West Heading This Way

As we all get ready to take on another Monday, showers and thunderstorms are already all fired up, and rumbling across eastern North Dakota. They will soon move across the Red River Valley, and head into western Minnesota, on their way to the Northland. Things will stay quiet in our area until lunchtime, but then it will be time to get ready for some showers and thunderstorm action. Along with the potential for some strong storms, we will also see good amounts of rain, totaling an inch or more, as the showers pass over us. We are still dry for the month and the year, so I’m glad to see the rain arrive. As the low pressure moves in from the west, a warm front will be lifting northward, from southern Minnesota. A cold front will move in from the west later today, and the combination of all those weather factors means we are going to be in for a busy day!

Later tonight, that whole complex will move east, and our winds will become stronger from the north and west. Tuesday looks like a nice day, with mainly sunny skies, and a high in the mid 70s. As we head toward the big Grandma’s Marathon weekend, here in Duluth, the weather looks pretty promising, with mainly sunny skies, and high temps in the 70s. There is a chance for rain Friday evening, but it’s too early to pin down the specifics on that, yet. At this point, race day looks partly sunny, with a low of 54, and a high of 73. I think that will work just fine!

Again, watch out for strong thunderstorms this afternoon. Might be a good day to get your outdoor chores done this morning!
