It is that time of year where many will be wanting to get out and do some late season ice fishing for panfish. With this weather on the way I'm expected a lot more water out on top of the ice from melting snow. Also, watch for ice receding from shorelines in the next couple of weeks.
Temperatures will stay quite mild for parts of the region this weekend. Friday will feature highs in the 50s and 60s for a large portion of both North and South Dakota. Southeastern Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin will have a chance of rain showers before heading into the weekend.
This weekend looks to stay dry for nearly the entire area, but watch for showers to clip southeastern Minnesota and parts of Wisconsin on the later part of Friday.
We continue the melting on Saturday with highs in the 40s, 50s, and even 60s dominating. A few areas of northeastern North Dakota may stay in the upper 30s on Saturday.
I'm seeing a little breeze on Saturday morning, but as the day moves forward I'm thinking a lot of the wind from the morning will start to back off.

Sunday is shaping up to be our warmest day of the weekend.
Winds stay light out of the east and southeast for most of Minnesota and Wisconsin to finish the weekend. More wind will develop, especially for central and western parts of the Dakotas.
