Minnesota Weather Alert: Thunderstorm Threat Brings Hail and Damaging Winds Tuesday Evening
DULUTH, MINNESOTA – Hot and humid conditions are setting the stage for potentially dangerous storms across Minnesota on Tuesday evening, with meteorologists warning of risks including large hail and damaging winds.
Evening Storm Risk Across Northeastern Minnesota
The National Weather Service in Duluth reported that uncertainty remains high due to poor overlap in storm ingredients. While not all areas will see storms, any that form could rapidly intensify into isolated severe cells.
The greatest risk stretches from northeastern Minnesota down toward the South Shore of Lake Superior, where the storm environment is most favorable.
Communities Advised to Stay Alert
Residents in Duluth, Hibbing, and Grand Rapids are being urged to prepare for rapidly changing weather conditions after sunset.
Drivers along U.S. Highway 53 and Interstate 35 may encounter sudden downpours, gusty winds, and reduced visibility during the evening commute.
Emergency officials recommend:
- Securing outdoor items to prevent wind damage
- Keeping cell phones charged to receive alerts
- Staying indoors if conditions worsen
Warm Conditions Continue
Even with the storm threat Tuesday evening, summer-like heat and humidity will persist across much of Minnesota through midweek.
Forecasters caution that another round of unsettled weather could arrive by Thursday, adding to the storm risk later this week. Residents are urged to monitor advisories from the National Weather Service for updates.
Safety Tips for Severe Storms
Meteorologists are reminding Minnesotans that thunderstorms can develop quickly, making safety precautions essential:
- Take shelter in a sturdy building, away from windows
- Avoid driving through flooded roads or areas of heavy rainfall
- Stay tuned to local weather alerts for updates or warnings
