Heavy rains in Wisconsin this week closed Milwaukee Mitchell Airport for almost a full day, and Whittman Field has also gotten record rainfall this month. That is making things tough for early arrivals to the convention. Planes are being put in limited dry locations, and while tent campers have high ground in Scholler, some camper RV’s are being parked along the roads, and larger Class A motor homes are being sent to a local Wal-Mart for the time being. Even if the ground is only semi-saturated, it’s best not to drive or place campers on it right now so it can dry out better.
The forecast there is for more thunderstorms today, but sunny on Sunday and Monday. There’s a chance of thunderstorms on Tuesday through Thursday, but that’s still a long way out.
