Gainesville, Florida to Green Bay, Wisconsin
North we head to a part of the country that saw some very active weather yesterday, over a route that is seeing the inclement weather today. It's a 1266 mile, 2 1/2 day drive, which means the average speed is about 61.6mph, not terribly fast. We'll cover 493 miles a day through some very pretty countryside as we make our way north.
DAY ONE
Fortunately for us, things are getting much clearer in the southeast overnight and into tomorrow. Our drive north from Florida into Georgia and eventually into southeastern Tennessee will be pleasant. Humidity is going to break in the wake of the system moving through, so the summer time driving conditions won't put a huge strain on our air conditioner. We will end our day in Mont Eagle, Tennessee which is northwest of Chattanooga.
DAY TWO
Our second day will be similarly pleasant, though we will be seeing different cities. I happen to really enjoy Louisville, so be sure to stop while passing through, because the weather should be velvety and warm while we are in town. I-65 awaits, however so don't linger too long. We will make it to Roselawn, Indiana, which is about 20 miles south of Gary.
DAY THREE
Come Friday, the party will be over. A cold front will emerge in Illinois as we begin our drive, and there will be heavy rain and thunderstorms as we set forth towards Chicago. Fortunately, it should be early enough in the day that these storms will be more bark than bite, but they will feature very heavy rain. The thunder will likely end, but the rain will continue as we cross into Wisconsin, and it's going to be pretty wet as we make our way into Green Bay.
