C’mon Irene, yeah, you know what I mean….. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Obviously, we’ve got a bit of rain in the forecast. Short term we have a good idea of how much, long term (i.e. late this weekend) is completely dependent on what Hurricane Irene decides to do. Today we expect clouds and showers throughout the day with the possibillity of a thunderstorm or two. Good news is that the wind has died down – not so good is the fact that the high humidity and low river temp should yeild some heavy fog at times on the West Branch. Anything is better than yesterday – with high winds and bright sun, not a whole lot happened on the river, unfortunately. This ‘spring’ weather should help us quite a bit, so long as Irene doesn’t spoil the party this weekend.
