Greetings and welcome!<\/p>\n
We are on the edge of a very nice 3 day holiday weekend this morning.<\/p>\n
Today is expected to get very hot and humid as a warm front passes us and brings juicy southern air. Temperatures in the low 90s doesn’t sound too bad until you figure in that dew points in the 70s will make it extremely humid. That will lift the ‘feels like’ temperature over 100F this afternoon.<\/p>\n
That heat and humidity is expected to break overnight as a cold front passes through and brings high pressure for the weekend. The passing front could trigger some showers or storms late tonight or early in the morning Saturday.<\/p>\n
The rain is not expected to add up to a lot around here, it looks like more of a demonstration of the cold front passing than a protracted rain. The HPC QPF<\/a> has us in the 1\/4-1\/2″ range. To the northwest of Eagle River it goes as high as an inch. The difference is probably timing with the storm calming down as the night progresses. The morning TV news is showing it down to a hit or miss line of scattered storms by the time that it gets here.<\/p>\n Once our line of rain passes we are expecting a great summer weekend. High pressure should bring clear weather. We are expecting mid-80s for Saturday and low 80s for Sunday and Monday, and overnight temps in the high 50s. The next mention of rain in the forecast comes Tuesday.<\/p>\n As predicted the Peshtigo River will be above normal this weekend for all of you rafters out there. My early prediction was +6-12 and I revised it down to 4-6, maybe a little higher. Right now it is about +10, and it should be about +7 or 8 tomorrow.<\/p>\n People should be really happy about that, it is a Goldilocks level. It isn’t huge so anyone can do it, and it isn’t rocky, so it is a lot more fun. This is the best water for the 4th of July in recent memory. Don’t hesitate to go rafting this weekend.<\/p>\n
