Good Morning ID, I've been wondering how the weather's been treating you up there? Sounds like summer. Maybe a little hotter and drier than before?
"They" were saying the smoke from CA was visible around here a couple days ago? I couldn't really see it. That's a big dang fire they got going out there now!
We'll heat up for a few days and then some rain will cool things off a bit and the humidity drenches you. Just waiting for the hurricanes to start rolling in!

JoeM, hotter than normal or for a longer period. Just as dry as normal,
going back to hot. Nice day had some rain this morning with a little more later today. It brought the RH up and we're about to melt. We went from 15% to 40%, 

Daves64, we're getting our own smoke plus everything in eastern Oregon and now California too. Rained enough to cut out the heavy smoke can still see the haze.

Had a nice rain/shower yesterday afternoon and it sure cleaned the air.
Heat starting back today. Will see what and how much the smoke comes back in.

Smoke was letting up a little.
Last night a big wall of blue rolled back in.
It's called the Snag fire west of us by a long ways.
The Paddock fire went to 187k acres. It was in grass and some sage brush.
I'm so glad and happy I wasn't still on the fire lookout. My old lookout was burned again in this fire. This time this fire did a lot more damage and threatened 2 small communities.
More monsoon moisture coming in tomorrow. I sure hope it's wet. Watched a nice lightning show Saturday night. The forest has picked up a few new starts. Most of the fires are under a quarter acre or less.

If anyone wants to view these fires got to WatchDuty.org

Wow that sunrise photo is awesome with all the corpuscular rays!
