Forecast high in the mid-80s at SLE today. But after tomorrow it looks like below normal high temps for the next 5 days. Forecast high of 61 on Saturday which is nearly a -20F departure. My bet is the 2nd half of September will be quite a bit warmer relative to average than the first.
Barring some kind of multi-day east wind event, fire season is definitely over west of the Cascade Crest in Oregon. We had about 2" of rain and new green shoots of grass are already springing up. The mornings have been very damp too.
It was a massive fire season, but at least we are in the opposite situation we were 6 years ago today. I wonder the last time SLE had rain on 5 consecutive days during the first half of September.
