Dry weather looks to continue across much of the region this weekend, as we are still seeing fall-like temperatures after the cold front pushed through the Northland in the middle of the week.

Most of the Northland will look to start the weekend on a mild note, with a few showers moving through southern Manitoba into northern Minnesota, but otherwise sunshine throughout the region.

On this episode of the Northland Outdoors podcast Chad Koel visits with one of the best multi-species fishing guides in the Northland, Brian “Bro” Brosdahl.  Get ready for an in-depth lesson in year round walleye fishing locations and tactics.  

Another warm front will lift through the region on Friday, raising the dial for temperatures and humidity as we head into the weekend. Highs on Saturday will largely be in the 80s, with some 90s in southwestern locations, as skies look partly to mostly sunny. Sunday is warm but with a change late in the day as precipitation chances increase in the west.

Most of the Northland will look to start the weekend on a mild note, with a few showers still exiting the North Shore Friday evening. By Saturday though, rain pushes out entirely into Wisconsin, while the rest of the region looks to stay dry, aside from a chance of a few isolates showers across western North Dakota.

As the previous system continues to push off to the east, we look largely dry under high pressure across most of the region on Saturday. Skies look to be partly to mostly sunny as well, with sunshine more likely the further north you are. Highs reach the 70s across the Northland. Sunday looks pleasant as well with some precipation chances across South Dakota.

A break from the heat is on the horizon, but we have to get through the weekend first. Saturday brings one more really hot day for most of the region, especially out west. Saturday afternoon brings some thunder shower chances for eastern North and South Dakota, as well as west central Minnesota. Sunday starts our cool down trend.

After a couple of drier days through the middle of the week, the south breeze that brought in warm weather is also looking to supply moisture for a few scattered thundershowers starting Friday night.

By Saturday, for much of the day the showers will stay rather scattered throughout the region and Sunday much the same.

Not all lakes suffer from the dog days of summer. As the weather heats up, the walleye bite on Minnesota’s Lake-of-the-Woods gets even hotter. Executive Director of Lake-of-the-Woods Tourism Joe Henry talks summertime walleye strategies on this episode of the Northland Outdoors Podcast.
