The forecast predicts a mostly good week ahead, with highs ranging from 31 to 67 degrees, lows from 16 to 44 degrees, and a mix of sunshine and rain chances. However, a storm system slated to arrive Friday through Sunday that could include snow ‑ definitely North Woods’ spring weather!

Snow and mild temperatures over the weekend will give way to colder temperatures, with lows in the single-digit to subzero, and highs mostly in the upper teens to mid-20s. More snow up to four inches is in the current forecast for Wednesday, but always subject to change.

Subzero lows start the week following six inches of weekend snow, but highs shift to mid-30s Thursday and Friday, with no snow in the forecast.

Fishing is fair to good, depending on the species, lake, location, and time of day. Wet weather and thunderstorms are in the forecast.

Ice conditions are changing quickly with the warmer weather, and though the season was relatively short, it has now reached its end.

Fishing is good for most species and very good for others. Reports on ice thickness range from 4-11 inches ‑ maybe more and maybe less.

Fishing remains good to very good for most species, ice conditions improved a bit in the past week. Still use caution as ice can change.

Fishing is good to very good for most species and ice conditions are improving with cold nighttime temperatures and lack of snow cover.

Lake ice in most areas was okay going into this past weekend, but mild temperatures this week could cause some issues.
