Fishing Opener Preview: computer models bring a fairly impressive storm into the Upper Midwest next weekend. Right now it looks like Saturday will start out dry (sunrise temperatures in the 40s north/low 50s central and south). Clouds will increase quickly, a growing chance of showers, even a stray thundershower Saturday afternoon. Heavier, steadier showers are expected Saturday night. A vigorous warm frontal boundary setting up near the Minnesota/Iowa border may set the stage for strong to severe T-storms Sunday, although it's much too early to get specific about that threat. Just know that there may be some heavy rain, even a few violent storms Sunday, especially across southern Minnesota. Pack something waterproof - and consider getting out first thing Saturday, while skies are still dry and relatively quiet.
Weather Headlines
* Lukewarm Monday. 70 degrees + likely.
* Morning sun, clouds increase during the afternoon hours as winds pick up from the south/southeast.
* Showers and T-storms arrive Monday night and linger into much of Tuesday.
* Unsettled Wednesday and Thursday with widely scattered showers and thundershowers.

* Saturday, Fishing Opener: dry start, but chance of showers increases as the day goes on.
* Sunday: Potential for .50"+ rain, even a severe storm outbreak over southern Minnesota and Wisconsin.
