Smoke hasn't been bad, can't smell, but you can see it in the distance. I thought today would be a lot warmer. Upper 70s here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks thick enough to hold down temps. 80 will be a stretch.

NWbyNW Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Smoke has not penetrated the low levels as much as models has predicted so far. Fingers crossed this remains the case for the Western Portions of our two States. The smoke will quickly clear out regardless starting Monday. As mentioned in my post yesterday, temps have underperformed in a lot of areas today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWbyNW Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Some really sad news coming out of Spokane County. The small community of Medical Lake (2020 pop: 4,874) and surrounding unincorporated communities of Silver Lake, Lakeland Village, and Clear Lake, have all mostly burned due to the Gray Fire which started Friday afternoon. The fire has spread quickly and has now burned over 185 homes according to KREM 2 out of Spokane. This is awful. Medical Lake has some historical significance in the state's history being home to an early sanitorum which still stands to this day and being located south of Fairchild Airforce Base. The entire City of Medical Lake has been ordered to evacuate. Hotels in Spokane are welcoming people in at the moment. Fire crews are working around the clock and the Spokane County Sheriff's Office is helping people evacuate. This is similar to a few years ago when wildfires ripped through the tiny towns of Pine City and Malden, completely burning them to the ground. Both towns are not to far from Medical Lake. A wildfire ripped through the towns of Malden and Pine City in 2020. Here is what is left of the Whitman County town of Malden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawniganLake Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 I see the 91000 acre Crater creek fire has crossed the border into Washington state.

ShawniganLake Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 The bush creek east and Adam’s lake wildfires merged in the north Shuswap area last night. Making a 13 mile run to the south east and burning a wooden bridge that is on the only access road to a large part of that area. Not sure on numbers but homes were lost.

Probably won't be much of a tropical storm left by the time it hits CA, other than some heavy rain. Yeah cold water is choking it rapidly. Now down to a Cat2.
