Key Takeaways:
Attendees of EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, should prepare for potential rain and smoke during the July 22-28 event.
Aviation meteorologist Scott Dennstaedt predicts possible smoky skies from Canadian wildfires, which could impact visibility and replicate conditions seen last year.
Dennstaedt's forecast suggests that while smoke may be present earlier in the day, convective activity in the late afternoon is expected to help clear the air.
If you are heading to EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to be part of the annual migration to the world’s largest fly-in, be sure to carry a rain poncho and perhaps a face mask.
That’s because both precipitation and smoke are a possibility during the airshow (July 22-28), according to Scott Dennstaedt, author of the EZWxBrief and a FLYING contributor.
