THE WEEK AHEAD: MOTHER NATURE COULD IMPACT A FULL SCHEDULE FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK (2024-03-31)

Northern Tier Sports Report
With one week under our belts spring sports is ready to take off. Too bad Mother Nature doesn’t agree, as there looks to be a deluge Monday through Thursday this week, with Friday barely getting into the 40’s. 

The good news - things are looking more springlike starting next Monday as temperatures early next week get into the 60’s. But we have to get through this week, first.
