Report

The official fire danger was still low when I was in Cle Elum last weekend. Can't remember ever seeing it low this late in the season. People are sure nervous after the last few years. This year is a way different situation.

Latest drought monitor. Not good.

We have been missed so many times since last October with large precipitation amounts, that you take all forecasts with some skepticism. The Drought has continued on with slight worsening recently. It is hard to chip away at a drought around here in July, August, and September. Hope this forecast verifies for rainfall.

Nice. I booked a September trip to Bend this morning.

Fwiw I’m suspicious of how it drops that low straight south out of Alaska later in the run. Little if any precedent for that in analogous circumstances. Looks like something is amiss there.
