The warmest day of the previous weekend was Saturday, October 10, 2026.  The vast majority of locations in the Northland were in the 80s, with a 90° reading in Moose Lake.  The coolest spots were right next to Lake Superior in the Twin Ports and North Shore regions, but they eventually got to the 70s during Saturday night.  A number of locations saw record highs set for the date, including 89° in Ashland, 87° in Atikin, Hibbing, and Ironwood, and 86° in Grand Rapids and Hayward.  All temperatures readings are in degrees Fahrenheit.See temperatures warm to the 80s in the Northland in October is unusual.  Saturday's readings were record setting for the entire month.  Locations such as Ironwood at 87° Fahrenheit set a new warmest temperature reading for the month.  Others like Hayward and Hibbing, both at 86°, tied their all-time record high for October.It wasn't just very warm during the daytime, as low temperatures the morning of Sunday, October 11, 2026, were warmer than the average high for the day.  Readings were in the upper 40s, 50s, and 60s.  Some spots like Ashland, Duluth, Hayward, and Ironwood are likely to set record low maximums for the day.  Temperatures readings are in degrees Fahrenheit.It is too early to confirm, but some spots in the Northland will likely see more record highs set or tied for this Sunday, October 11.  Readings were back in the 70s and 80s across the region.  One could see a change in the horizon as temperatures are cooling as one moves from southeast to northwest across the region.  It will be back to the 50s for many highs come Monday.  Temperatures readings are in degrees Fahrenheit.

8 P.M. RADAR UPDATE: #Rain will continue to push through the Rainy River Basin region of the #Northland over the next several hours. Some heavy #rainfall is possible in spots. A bit of minor #flooding is not out of the question, but not the greatest risk. #wxtooter #weather #wx #MNwx
A view of the radar over the Rainy River Basin region of the Northland at 8 p.m. on September 28, 2026, shows light rain showers passing through, which has been the case so far this Monday evening.  A band of heavy rain north and west of Bemidji is moving towards this region from southwest to northeast.  It will pass over the next several hours.The Weather Prediction Center has placed Koochiching and adjacent areas of Itasca and St. Louis counties under a "slight risk" category for excessive rainfall through Monday night.  Recent discussion by the center indicates that there could be a few spots that could see over 2-inches of new rainfall due to the training variety of rain showers pushing through northern Minnesota.  Minor flooding is possible in low lying spots because of this, but the threat remains low given the dry conditions over recent weeks.
