Morning Update- We did make that 4″ mark.. just barely.
Greetings and welcome!
Just a quick rain update..
Saturday it went on to rain another inch for a total of 3″ on the USGS gauge by Kosir’s. Several people said that their gauge was higher than the USGS gauge by 1/2″ or more.
Sunday turned out to be a pretty nice day. It did rain a little after sunset.
Guess what? It is raining again. It started a little before sunset Monday and has added up to 1/2″ as of 11:15pm Monday night. The radar shows that it might not stop for a while. I would not be surprised to see it hit the 1″ mark, bringing us to about 4″ of rain since Saturday.
This is as of 11:15pm Monday.
There are going to be some flooded trails and forest roads. Lowlands that gather water have done so, and I would expect small lakes to be pretty full. Mud won’t be hard to find. Trout streams are going to be big too. It has been a wet summer.
The whitewater rafting will be amazing this week and weekend. The Peshtigo is running about a+18″, a really fun level.
Weekend visitors might want to hit WalMart for some of that Repel Sportsman’s 40%. The wet stretch was not lost on the gators (mosquitoes). I got swarmed pretty bad Sunday night.
Have a good week!
