Fine weekend weather for fishing; lovely Mother’s Day Sunday
Saturday will be a pleasant day for the Minnesota fishing opener.
Canadian high pressure is our friend during the warm season
Dry high pressure from Canada will bring sunshine to northern Minnesota while mid and high clouds overspread central and southern sections. A few showers will break out in the south, mainly near Iowa. High temperatures should range from the upper 50s in cloudy southern Minnesota to the upper 60s up north under sunshine. The Twin Cities likely will have a high around 64. Winds will remain rather light from the east just about statewide.
Weather radar from Sioux Falls, S.D., has been tracking showers as they approach southwestern Minnesota this Saturday morning.
