It began yesterday, September 1, the autumn season as defined by weather professionals.
With highs forecast near 100°F in central Oregon this weekend, still feels like summer....
...but it's not.

I don't recall seeing this very often -- offshore breezes carrying forest fire smoke out to sea.
I was thinking of going over to the Oregon coast for a breath of fresh air...but looks like that's not guaranteed there either.

Thanks Mark.Here at Monterey we are also now getting the "off shore" breeze
and it's bringing the smoke from the northern Cal. fires here.
Just a high layer for now.
Nice sun rise/sets. But lots of heat for our area over 100* Monterey yesterday.
About the same today.
We're just not used to such high temps.
Oh well lots of folks have it a lot worse then us.

The weather report today said the northern Oregon coast was the place to be today for cooler temps & fairly clear skies. Looking at your image, it appears that may be right.

Decided to just get the job done so moved and spread the 2 cubic yards of road base. Smoke moved in and dimmed the sun and dropped the temp a couple of degrees. Ah, fall in the mountains!

Here, too, it ended up being a little cooler than forecast -- because the smoke blocked the sun.
Kinda like what killed the dinosaurs -- particulates in the air blocking the sun.

Mr. BC, that is an incredible satellite photo of the smoke movement. Wow.
