Just talked with our center weather meteorologist. Its not looking pretty boys and girls. Depending on where the jet stream stalls its going to be a sunny 95-100 every day or hot and muggy with storms every day. Payback for the last two years of good weather.

May have to watch the fuel load too, I was planning on filling up the extra load with cases of Phillips 66 oil. That is as long as the price is $55 or less per case.

We trust our center weather people more than any other weather provider. It isn't a lock yet but he said every day the probability is going up. Right at 70% today. The big question will be where the jet stream stalls.

That's why my chair has an umbrella built onto it. Makes me look a little like John Goodman about to get bombed, as in "Always". But it sure makes watching landings more comfortable!

Right now AccuWeather is showing 89 on Thursday & Friday (7/21-7/22), 88 Saturday, 86 Sunday, 82 Monday, 90 Tuesday, 87 Wednesday and 82 Thursday. Only Sunday does it say mostly cloudy. Not showing any chance for precipitation above 18% on any day. Now, that all being said, it is two weeks away yet. But fingers crossed.

Stock up on water? Wisconsin has plenty! EAA keeps it in long skinny things all over the convention grounds. Called "pipes." Carry a container or your own choosing, recycle it by topping off at one of those convenient, quaint "pipes," and enjoy!

My guy at the center has failed me. I shall not buy him a beer at Oshkosh. Guess the heat dome is going to stall more to the southwest.

Sounds like a repeat of 2014, which was GLORIOUS. I don't think it got much over 80 all week.

This shouldn't be a surprise to you. Think of how often they are wrong. For example I live in the Milwaukee area. Last week Tuesday we were told there were going to be strong serve storms. It went from that to, T-storm, to change of T-storm to being sunny all day long. That was from the course of Monday night through Tuesday.
