BACK ON TRACK.  We’ll warm up today after Sunday’s front and Monday’s struggle to break out of the sixties, setting us up for a week in the 70s with a predicted warm spike for the weekend! We’ve got the forecast for today and the future along with upcoming archery excitement and a friendly reminder to get your firearms deer tag application in, all in our Outdoors Roundup!

OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

SHOOT ON!  The North Dakota Bowhunters Association announces its 2020 Outdoors 3D Championship in Center the weekend of Friday, June 19.  The first post-Covid event of the year of the organization sports a variety of competition levels by age.  More info can be found at ndbowhunters.org.

FRIENDLY REMINDER.  We’re just over a week away from the ND Firearms Deer Season deadline on June 3.  Remember to get your application in online at the NDG&F website for a chance at this year’s 69,000-plus tags.

WARM BUBBLE.  The NOAA climate prediction shows a solid chance for warmer-than-average temperatures across the Midwest over the next two weeks, suggesting that summer is on its way a bit early.  Will the prediction hold?
