786 FNUS73 KDLH 041006 FWSDLH Spot Forecast for Deer River Admin Pile RX...USFS National Weather Service Duluth MN 506 AM CDT Fri Apr 4 2025 Forecast is based on ignition time of 0900 CDT on April 04. If there are questions or concerns with this forecast, or if conditions become unrepresentative, contact the National Weather Service in Duluth at 218-729-0653. .DISCUSSION... Cloudy conditions will continue this morning. A break in the clouds is possible in the mid morning, but will quickly fill back in by early afternoon as a cold front moves through the Northland. Rain and mix is expected for the afternoon before transitioning over to snow in the evening and ending overnight. Any snow accumulations are expected to be less than an inch. Because of this quick burst of precipitation, RHs will only get down into the 60s in the late morning and early afternoon before the rain begins. Light winds out of the southwest will veer northwest after the front has passed this evening. Winds are not likely to exceed 15 mph. Saturday will be cooler, drier, and patchy sun, with a high in the upper 30s and RH reaching as low as 35% Saturday afternoon. Winds out of the northwest will have increased, however, with 10-15 mph sustained and gusts up to 20 mph. .REST OF TODAY... Sky/weather.........Cloudy (90-100 percent).
