Greetings and welcome!
Just a couple of quick updates..
First up the weekend weather looks very nice. It will be a little humid and on the warm side in the low and mid-80s, but you will get that in August.
The TV weather guy and I agree that there will be a slight chance of a storm popping up and a better chance of it as Sunday progresses. My model guidance shows a little precip possible in MN and downstate, but nothing around here. Likewise the NWS is showing no precip chances. My thinking is that with moisture in the atmosphere and a warm sunny day it wouldn’t be a reach to see a storm or two pop up. Sunday night into Monday there is a much better chance at rain.
I will again be taking rafting pictures at Kosir’s Saturday. The river has usually long dried up by now, but this is not an ordinary year. Today the Peshtigo is running 552cfs and about a +6 or +7″ level. The normal median flow for today is 187cfs, too low to run without hitting a zillion rocks. We are breaking records at 552cfs, a very fun level for both rafting and tubing.
One last item… I got a note from one of the guys that did a lot of work to see the stretch of Parkway Rd from Hwy C south to the town line opened to ATVs. He wanted to remind us that the speed limit is 35, and 25 in the corners. I was past there Wednesday and it is well marked. It is a very controversial stretch and it won’t take much to screw it up, so please observe the speed limits and be on your best behavior while passing through.
That’s news for today. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
