Greetings and welcome!
We really dodged a bullet yesterday. The forecast was for a hot muggy day with and extremely unstable atmosphere, and a cold front coming in the afternoon when there would be maximum heating. Usually that is the recipe for severe weather.
The CAPE values really got my attention. If I see them over about 2,000 j/Kg I expect thunderstorms and possible severe weather. Yesterday the models had them in the 3-4,000 range. I don’t remember the number but I am pretty sure that we were under 3,000 when the Riverview tornado came.
Anyway, the line of storms came through at about 6am, the time of day with the least heating from the sun. There couldn’t have been a better outcome. Even so there were some severe weather warnings south of Green Bay. I haven’t seen the news to see how that turned out. At any rate we went from a worst case scenario to a best case scenario.
We ended up with very nice weather. It turned out to be a hot sunny 86 degree day. There were a few wind gusts in the afternoon but nothing of consequence.
Hog Wrestling was fun at the Caldron Falls Bar Saturday. A lot of people came and it was a nice day for it. Reports had the OWI task force out doing their thing later on. There were a couple of taxis and a couple of shuttle buses, so there were safe rides home to be had.
The weather for the week ahead looks nice. For the most part it looks like upper 70s and low 80s with clear weather. There is a chance of a thunderstorm later in the week.
I will be back Tuesday night with the latest and some events too. Have a good week and thank you for visiting!
