If we have an east wind event and a fire starts in Vida or Walterville then it's over. It's something that will become increasingly likely the hotter and drier it gets here.

Down to freezing lol. First one since Jan 27 and just the 17th IMBY this regular season.

We”re really suffering down here. The drought is one thing. The effect on our health is another. Allergies are pegging, I’m sick, and we desperately need to wash the atmosphere. So- Somebody throw me a rope. Is there any hope for rain in No Tx??

Record high yesterday here at 89F. Mild night hanging out in the low 70s. Probably headed for low 90s today with gusty winds.
