Fine weather for fishing and for celebrating Mom

An abundance of sunshine and temps in the 70s.

The walleye may or may not be biting Saturday, with a better chance of catching a sunburn during Saturday’s Minnesota Fishing Opener. I see a plethora of sunshine, northwest winds from 10-15 mph and a rising barometer, with temps in the low to mid-70s. Good luck out there.

Mom may temporarily overheat during her big day on Sunday (don’t forget!) with low 80s possible before a stray late-day shower or T-storms.

A surge of clean Canadian air chases away any showers, with blue sky returning Monday and Tuesday. The best chance of significant rain comes next Wednesday.

In other news, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency predicts we’ll see smoke from wildfires upwind by this summer as North America enters a hotter, drier pattern.

But we have been lucky in Minnesota. NOAA reports nearly 300 tornadoes across the U.S. in the last two weeks.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
