Smoke is MUCH better now. No more ash fall either.  🙂

You can clearly see the wind shift on this visible sat loop.  Smoke plume headed due north.

Tried posting last night but I was in la pine and the forum said I was banned every time I tried to sign in. Would that be because culver josh was near my area and it thought it I was him? Lol. Got down to about 30 this morning in La pine. The state park here is amazing. On my way to crater lake right now.

It looks like a fire is really blowing up around the King / Snohomish County line right now.

I too enjoy taking pictures of hell. Also it's snowing ash here. Cool.

Not sure if cool is the word most people would use.

It's reassuring to see the wind has shifted to SW all the way into NW OR now.  Somewhere between Eugene and Salem it appears.

Yeah... the Goat Rocks fire near Packwood looks pretty quiet this morning but that fire east of Gold Bar is just exploding right now.

The wind has pretty much died here. Got down to 57 earlier, up to 61 now. 

We've had some pretty strong east winds here.  It was 62 at Midnight and was 75 by sunrise.  You know fall is hear when the east wind shows up.

Ah the ash is from a new fire near Skykomish. Theyre under a level 1 now. It's pretty impressive how dark and cold it is here in Gold Bar. 47 degrees. Here's my view, normally can see a bit of Baring and Index through the gap:

I'm surprised the east wind hasn't surfaced there.  If it doesn't you may end up with very suppressed temps today.

There is also a huge smoke plume nearing Portland right now that may keep them down today as well.

There is a SE component to the wind now in the foothills.    His area is very protected there in a deep valley.

I'm just thankful that all our fire resources in the area are available for this. We have a lot of great people in Sky Valley and they're converging on Beckler River now.

00z EPS agrees with the operational on that trough dropping in on days 9 and 10. Operational and EPS show Bozeman getting a decent amount of remnant moisture from Kay later this upcoming week. Then possibly even some snow with that deep trough on day 10 as well. Fall has arrived!

And yes Tim, we know it shows ridging on days 12-15 but it keeps getting pushed back so stop peeing in everyones cereal.

Looks like some definite fall weather is near.  Heights actually go below normal here in about 3 days.

Indeed. We have a nice amount of shielding from 5-7k foot mountains to my north, south and east. Makes the wind act a bit more abnormally than some other areas.

Yeah...I've seen good straight easterly winds there, but the southerly component probably blocks them.

They have their work cut out for them with the wind.  You can see how strong it is on the sat loop.

Yeah, that Skykomish Fire does not look good. Looks like it's burning in the Wild Sky Wilderness Area between Index and Skykomish near Baring Peak. That's a really cool area so I hope it doesn't do too much damage, let alone make it into the houses and towns near there.

Currently 60F in Everett.

Worst air quality the region's had this year out there.  Smoke has permeated the low level in most areas.  Conditions degraded in all of western Washington and western Oregon.  Tri-Cities, Wenatchee, Yakima, Spokane all declined.  

 

The few good spots are along the eastern side of the Cascade crest of WA and OR.  The Olympic Peninsula, and San Juans.

Looks like the Skykomish fire just had a major explosion   Smoke shot much higher into the atmosphere.  The smoke plume from OR almost has a poor man's 2020 look to it.  Major smoke going out over the ocean which will later move inland further north.  At this point it appears Seattle is going to get smoke from that fire.

I've got a couple properties in Packwood and am obviously watching the Goat Rocks fire closely. How much longer until the east winds subside in the area? Thanks in advance!

The east winds are supposed to get a lot lighter later today.  Should completely go away by tomorrow morning.

There was (I hope I can say that and be correct) a small fire on the way to Lake Crescent yesterday evening, shortly before 104 meets 101 in Jefferson County. Smoky skies here now, but thankfully it seems to be in the mostly mid- and upper-levels.
