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.
