Monday's Weather

Today’s Conditions

Temperature: 36F
Wind: 5mph SSW gusts 18mph
Humidity: 58%
Dew Point: 23F
Pressure: 30.06"

Today is once again very mild for this time of year.  The south wind continues to bring warm air up to the region.  However the pressure is currently dropping and a low pressure front is moving in.  The fronts coming from the North West indicating colder and more moist air.  A storm system has already developed just behind the front and is located in western Minnesota right now that's expected to hit us latter tonight bringing a rain and snow mix due to the warmth of this particular air mass. The forecast is calling for accumulations of 1-2 in of snow but it will probably start melting as soon as it hits the ground. The ground will start to thaw and the clouds will trap the days heat keeping the temps above freezing tonight meaning this storm will be a slushy mess.

The fishing conditions are excellent for this afternoon a low pressure front bring clouds, and precipitation will always cause fish to become active.  I’m sure there will be plenty of fish taking midges on the surface.
