Another perfect weekend on tap
Our ridiculous string of perfect conditions continues this weekend. While we’re bookended by some unstable weather on either side, Friday through Sunday look amazing. Highs in the mid 80s with light winds mostly at your back plus perfect water conditions leaving us with hundreds of sandbars but still plenty of water to make it downstream.…

Starting to sound like a broken record
Once again, conditions this weekend are phenomenal. Clear skies with highs in the mid 80s and nights in the low 60s. Water levels are at seasonal lows which means tons of sandbars. Even the winds should be light and favorable out of the north/east. This weekend has been sold out for a while now but…

Pretty great weekend ahead
With one mediocre exception, this weekend is looking pretty great. Highs in the low 90s with 50% cloud cover so plenty warm enough to swim but not so much sun you feel like you’re gonna melt (but still bring sunscreen). There’s next to no chance of rain/storms and the sandbars are out in force. I…

Still early but the long range forecast says good things
Too soon to say anything with certainty but the long range forecast is looking pretty good for the coming week/weekend with highs getting into the upper 80s and sandbars for miles. It’s not called the river of a thousand isles for nothing and the last few weeks have proved it. That trend will continue through…

Nice weekend on tap
Looks like highs in the 70s with a chance of isolated storm Sunday afternoon. Sandbars are at late summer peaks – they are everywhere. We’re sold out for this weekend but you might get lucky if someone cancels last minute (keep an eye on the inventory levels as they’ll show up there immediately after being…

Wet Thurs/Fri, clearing Sat/Sun
Looks like we’ve got a low pressure system slowly moving through our area this weekend. It’ll be wet today and tomorrow but by Friday evening the low should be moving Eastward. Not a lot of instability with this one so expect mostly rain with maybe a rumble of thunder here and there. Storm prediction center…

Typical summer days ahead
July 13 Update Looks like better news on the weather front. We should see most rain or storms on Friday afternoon/evening and a limited chance of rain on Saturday. There’s even potential for the whole shortwave system to fall off to our south which would leave us fairly dry. At any rate, we’re only expecting…

The 4th of July Week Ahead
The outlook for this weekend is pretty phenomenal. I’m giving it a preliminary 9 out of 10. Highs in the mid 80s, crisp nights in the low 60s. Sunny with essentially 0% chance of rain and light winds out of the south (i.e. not headwinds). Water levels have been dropping like crazy and will continue…

One last hurdle and then it’s smooth sailing for the week
Crazy amount of wind for a few minutes last night as the first storm came by but otherwise the rest of the night turned out to be pretty quiet with only a small amount of rain. Still questionable what exactly happens today but looks like we’ll see something come through between 12pm and 2pm. Once…

Hot!
Temps into the higher 90s today with a ‘feels like’ over 100 – good thing the water is 73. Looking at a 50% chance of storms coming through tonight; they are mostly expected to stay in a line west of us but a few could break free and make their way here. Probably worth tying…
