Greetings and welcome!<\/p>\n

We did not get a lot of extra rain in the rain bucket overnight. My official total is 4.25″.<\/p>\n

Four inches of rain plus soggy ground has brought the rivers up even beyond my expectations. I predicted that the Peshtigo River woould be over +12″ this morning, and it was. It is still rising and is in the 16-18″ range as of 8am Friday, now breaking 1,000cfs.<\/p>\n

I would not be surprised to see it in the 20″+ range for Saturday and Sunday. The water we are seeing now fell between about here and Goodman Park. The water from where the watershed reaches north of Hwy 8 and west almost to Crandon is not here yet.<\/p>\n

The rain hit the Menominee River too, and near Piers gorge where they raft it is running at a huge 7,290. Usually they stop rafting it at about 5,000, it is just too big for commercial trips. Put it this way.. the Menom came up THREE FEET since about dinner yesterday.<\/p>\n

According to the NWS forecast, we are in good shape for the weekend. Look for partly cloudy and about 60 Saturday and add a few degrees for Sunday. Look for lows at night around 40.<\/p>\n

It is a very windy day outside today, but the skies are clearing. You almost have to expect that big wind when there is a 20 degree temperature difference on either side of the storm. It is expected to calm down for the weekend.<\/p>\n
