Fishing Opener Update: all week we'll we'll focus in and fine-tune the all-important prediction for Saturday, May 9, the Fishing Opener. Most of the Saturday looks dry right now, with increasing clouds during the day, a falling barometer [perfect for catching fish] a walleye "chop" on area lakes, and temperatures close to average, ranging from mid 50s north to mid 60s south by late afternoon. Heavier, steadier rain, even strong T-storms, are expected late Saturday into Sunday, there is even a slight chance of severe storms - especially over southern Minnesota - on Sunday.
Weather Headlines
* 64 degree high Saturday; PM clouds and sprinkles, along with a persistent, annoying northwest wind.
* Today looks much nicer as a bubble of high pressure drifts overhead. Expect more sun, fewer PM clouds, considerably less wind and temperatures a few degrees milder.
* Next round of showers/storms comes late Monday into Monday night.
* Monday highs top 70 degrees: a distractingly-nice way to start the work week.
* Rapid weather changes on tap the rest of the week (strong jet stream winds aloft make pinning down exact rainfall windows difficult to downright impossible).
* Nice to be "average." High temperatures within a few degrees of normal through next Saturday.
* Fishing Opener weather may leave something to be desired by Saturday night/Sunday: potential for heavy rain, even strong/severe T-storms over southern Minnesota, especially during the latter half of the weekend. The earlier you get out to your favorite lake Saturday, the better.
