Greetings and welcome!
It is a nice warm mostly sunny day outside today with a bit of wind blowing. That looks like the template for tomorrow too. We are expecting mid-80s for Saturday and a 15-20mph wind that could gust to 25. The forecast models show a really slight chance of some rain in the afternoon, but that is mostly for areas to our south.
Sunday looks a little more dicey. The forecast at the moment is for a minor chance of rain in the morning, with chances getting up to 70% in the afternoon. They are expecting showers and thunderstorms, and a chance that they could be strong.The latest trend has been to push the timing of it back a little, so we could end up with a decent Sunday too.
It will be a nice weekend for time around the campfire or camping. Low temperatures are expected to be in the mid to upper 50s tonight and around 60 Saturday night. Sky cover is forecast to be mostly clear tonight and partly cloudy Saturday night. I am a little skeptical about Saturday night’s partly cloudy, but that depends on how fast the system for Sunday starts moving cloud cover in. There is a chance that we could see some northern lights both nights, but it isn’t much of a CME.
The fire danger will be high this weekend. At the moment we have warm temps, strong winds and low humidity. Between that and the lack of rain this week, use caution with your fire.
The great outdoors is embracing Spring with great enthusiasm now. The world of green is really filling in and growing quickly. Every day I see more growth, a new flower, bug or critter, and just an explosion of growth in general. That also means that we are getting into the Repel season. So far the biggest pest in my travels have been wood ticks, but I am sure that the gators (mosquitoes) will be out soon too.
People that travel to the area from the south will want to know about the construction project on the big bridge on I43 in Green Bay. That starts Monday and they will have it down to one lane and some nearby ramps closed through the summer. Here is a link to the news feature on it. There is other construction pending too, again here is a link to news on that.
Well it is time for me to go and jump into the day. I have a computer call, and then I am headed for some time with the lawn mower. I got about half of the yard cut last week, and now it all needs cutting again.
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
