By the afternoon and into the evening, scattered showers and storms pop-up once again. There are plenty of events across the region to enjoy over the weekend! RedHawks baseball, the Downtown Fargo Street Fair, Bash on the Beach in Detroit Lakes, and various Farmer’s markets just to name a few. Enjoy the mild conditions and sunshine, but be prepared for a passing shower/storm. Another factor we will be watching throughout the weekend is wildfire smoke.
