Greetings and welcome!
It has been a beautiful weekend for weather. There was a little rain Friday night, but it was brief enough that the road under overhanging trees stayed dry. Saturday’s Rain ended about the same way. We had a brief shower move through that was just enough to get everything wet.
Not all of Northern WI fared that well. From about Rhinelander northwest there were scattered showers and storms for much of the day. A lot of those areas saw repeated waves of rain, and probably didn’t have a nice Saturday at all.
It just goes to show why I say don’t let a forecast cancel your weekend. Be ready for anything, but don’t give up based on a forecast. This weekend our 60 and 70% chance of rain ended up less that 2/10ths of an inch and maybe 20-40 minutes of total rain. One was after sunset, the other came about 5pm Saturday.
The disturbed weather brought some cool clouds around sunset Saturday evening. At first the sun back lighting big distant storm clouds was really a nice view. Later on I convinced Chris that we should go catch a sunset on Caldron Falls. That brought a crop of pictures like this one.
It was a challenging sunset to photograph because the sky above the clouds and setting sun stayed so bright. It didn’t make sense until the big full moon rise behind us and kept the sky lit well past sunset. Now I understand..
Now the weekend is winding down and after one more raft trip it is time to relax. Hopefully the sunset is this nice again later tonight.
Have a good week and thank you for visiting!
