It's going to be warm out there.

The weather calls for 90 degrees and light South winds following some violent storms that rolled through trashing some of the displays and ripping branches off of trees in Lakeside Park.

Close to a full field left Lakeside Park today in another Merc Nationals flawless launch. The anglers we spoke with said the bite has been "terrible", but that said, every one agrees it will take at least 13 to 14 pounds per day to stay in this one. Pretty much every technique known for 'Bago is being used, and many said they will try 'everything'.

Watch for a full report this afternoon after the weigh in.
