Looks like a decent bet for some dry lightning over the east side during the next 24-36 hrs. Not a great way to head in to what looks like a fairly lengthy hot and dry period.

I saw a reading of 1020 in upper Michigan.

My buddy sent me this from Nipigon, ON. Just north of L. Superior yesterday. The smoke should be in Southern Lower Michigan later this afternoon/evening.

They were definitely warm, but this is one of those stats that is exaggerated for PDX relative to most other places nearby. SLE: 1 top 5 warm Battle Ground: 1 top 5 Downtown Portland: 1 top 5 Silver Falls: 1 top 5 warm

High yesterday was 84F and right now its in the low 70s already
