SUNDAY MAGIC.  Make it happen today as mixed skies and south winds warm things up to 70 degrees.  We’ve got updates on access to ND’s lakes and rivers along with fishing pier conditions from the NDG&F, increasing daylight and a pretty good looking week ahead in our Outdoors Roundup.

OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

GET ACCESS.  In this week’s Outdoors Online webcast, the NDG&F talks boat access and fishing pier use during this time of social distancing.  With some of the guidelines and restrictions in place, it’s far from business as usual.

COMING FAST.  The light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger and bigger as we add 3 to 4 minutes of daytime in every 24-hour span.  We’ll gain more than an hour by the end of next month and things will definitely be a bit more summer like in terms of daylight.

LOOKING GOOD.  The week ahead has stable temperatures and only minor amounts of precipitation to help fuel your outside activities.  Things will get gusty midweek with a chance of rain as a front rolls through Tuesday into Wednesday, so plan your fishing trips around that shift.
