Back in one piece...1600 miles...lots of smoke but no fire. We skipped Crater Lake due to smoke...who want's a picture of a brown lake. Temps were in the 90's and traffic on US 101 was awful in places...like where everyone wanted to be...most places. Smoke in South and central ID was not too bad but panhandle was pretty heavy on Snake and Clearwater river drainages...Salmon was pretty clear. I think the motel owners were making up for the summer of 2020...prices were high but they need to eat too.

Not a bad trip all in all.

We are being treated to a thunderstorm right now. Sounding good and temp has dropped a good 20 degrees!

Enough of good stuff lets look at tomorrow.


No pictures to look at yet. Calling for 95 tomorrow and heat index in area of 104.

Can't remember the last time it rained. Smoke is as bad as I've seen it. Hot and dry!. Fart in the bush and you will start a fire.

Friday, We have another warm one today and next couple ahead. After that they are talking rain chances and cooling down a little. Hard believe it is almost August.

 

[Montecresto]

Drying out a little here. Hasn’t rained for two days, but it’s back in the forecast for Saturday thru Wednesday…..

Same here...58 to 92 but no afternoon showers. We're at 2400' and the mountain10 miles away is 5500' nice and cool up there but no afternoon or other showers...just 15% atmospheric moisture saturation. Big lake is 66F on the surface so kinda cool to get much moisture gain there. Same issues in BC, AB, WA, OR, MT, CA and others and their fires. Nothing to do with climate change... I'll stop whining about the heat if we can get some of those afternoon showers!!

99 today and 102 tomorrow then 80's with rain (maybe)...I'll believe it when I need a rain suit.

 

[SWB]

Upper 90's right now lows were around 80. Rain in forecast.
