Record Breakin' Weekend

Sizzlin' summer temperatures just a few shy of 90 on Sunday.

Well, the weekend is upon us and it's looking downright summer-like! Highs will jump into the 70s and 80s on Saturday, and mid to upper 80s on Sunday! What month is this again? That's nearly 30 degrees above the average temperature. Humidity will also increase, which will make it feel more like late June than the beginning of April.

They're firing up! This weekend will be a good one to get
out after these little morsels.

If you want to get some Morel mushrooms in March, I'd suggest going today or Saturday! Our rainfall came down on soil temps that are in the 50s for most of central Iowa. Moisture on warm ground and high humidity at night seem to really contribute to growing Morels. We've already seen preferential micro-climates popping off these little edibles. I think this weekend we will start seeing a wide-spread showing of all 3 main species of Morel (Whites, Commons, and Big Foots).

Rain amounts varied widely, but in general 1/4 to 3/4 fell with
Thursday's thunderstorms. Perfect for rejuvinating the fishing
activity.

The rainfall was substantial enough to kick up water levels in creeks and tributaries. This should serve to keep a light to moderate bite going Friday and Saturday despite high barometric pressure. Winds will kick up to the 15mph range from the SE on Saturday and the 30 mph wind speed range from the SW on Sunday.
