Greetings and welcome!
\nThe big holiday weekend is finally here!
\nWe have what looks like a mostly nice weekend ahead, but there are some rain chances.
\nAs far as the weather goes we are looking at low 70s for Friday and Saturday, and upper 70s Sunday. As far as rain it looks like the best chances will mostly be at night, but there is at least a slight chance daily. Monday brings the best chance for rain. I would not change plans over it, but be ready for anything.
\nThe NWS also put out a hazardous weather outlook for fog along Lake Michigan for tonight and Saturday night. That mostly concerns travelers going up I-43.
\nThe bugs have woken up. Bring Repel. I use the 40% stuff. The main pests this week were wood ticks and gnats. The gators (mosquitoes) should be along any time now.
\nThe whitewater rafting this weekend will be excellent. The Peshtigo River is running at +11\u201d at the moment, and the Menominee is at about 3,000cfs. Both are excellent water levels for rafting. Call Kosir\u2019s 715-757-3431.
\nIf places that you go are in lowlands or swamps bring your water wings. Those areas are really full of water after the early week rains of 1.5\u201d here and more in some areas.
\nThere is live music at Caldron Falls Bar Saturday night, and Sunday afternoon at Rustic Inn. The CFB is having the Outlaw Junkies, and the Rustic is having Augie from Fisher\u2019s Camp. I have never seen the first band but Augie is amazing.
\nMost of the bars and restaurants are open for business. A few have decided to stay at carry-outs only or outside service.
\nIt looks like it will be a busy weekend. At 8am Friday morning the cell phone based internet is already pathetically slow. Right now a click of a link brings about a 3 minute wait time. I can\u2019t wait to see how bad it is once people get here tonight and tomorrow.
\nIt looks like a good holiday weekend ahead. Have fun and stay safe!
\nHave a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
