Greetings and welcome!
Sorry I am so late with my late week update, I have been a very busy boy this week.
The weather forecast looks like any summer weekend. Saturday looks warm with a chance of showers and storms brewing up. The atmosphere will have some energy to offer if convection can get something brewing, but not enough to get severe. The NWS puts chances of rain Saturday at 30%.
There is a low pressure system headed our way and a cold front over the UP. As either approaches the area rain chances will increase. The latest guess has the low passing through late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. That will likely bring some rain and storms to northern WI. The HPC QPF for the whole weekend has us on the border between 0.25-0.5″ and 0.5-1.0″ of rainfall.
I am not expecting a big washout for the weekend, but rather storms for an hour or three Saturday late afternoon and Sunday morning, and mostly nice weather.
The crescent moon isn’t a peak time on the solunar tables, but the approaching low pressure is definitely a fisherman’s friend.
My predictions for the river levels for the weekend came up a little short. I had guessed that the Peshtigo would hit the 4-6 range. ( Game show buzzer sound) It peaked at about +2 and is headed for about +1 for tomorrow. That is still well above normal for this weekend. The median flow for the past 12 years on today’s date is 217cfs and we are running at 335. Not bad.
We have a lot of events this weekend. I will refer you to my previous update for the big list. One addition is the adult big wheel races on Blueberry Hill at 2pm tomorrow. The sign last year mentioned that it was full contact. Yee ha!
Beyond that my next pick would be the Jumpin’ Jimmie’s Car Show at Curve Inn. They are having live music, a pig roast, a corn roast, raffles, and of course a big car show.
That is about news. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
