SUNDAY FUNDAY.  Warm temperatures and southern breezes will make Sunday a good one to get outdoors and enjoy a mid-July day as it was meant to be.  Whether on the water or on the range, conditions will be right.  We’ve got updates on the final day of the Masters Walleye Circuit, a limited run of an awesome light in the night sky and a look at the week ahead in today’s Outdoors Roundup.

DAY RATING:

OUTDOORS ROUNDUP:

HEAVY FISH.  The duo of Dan Steir and Dennis Bense racked up ten big walleyes to take the Masters Walleye Circuit event on Lake Sakakawea.  Their ten-fish, two-day total was 55 pounds eight ounces, or about 5.5 pounds per walleye.  Results from the event are available on the MWC Facebook page.

LOOK UP!  Comet Neowise has grown into a highly-visible object in the night sky, with both morning and evening viewing of its bright core and long-trailing tail.  Space.com has all the information on where and when to look for this object you won’t see again for another 6,800 years!

DRYING OUT?  The forecast for the upcoming week shows rebounding temperatures and generally dry conditions after tonight’s chance of rain.  Highs may surge into the 90s for Friday and Saturday, so plan your weekly outings accordingly!
