A very hot and windy one for sure!  Just got back from a week at Res. C on the Modoc NF. I had planned to stay a couple of days there, then north to L. Albert Rim country-------but!  Red Flag warnings every where, real hot and windy, never seen "C" this low before and boat launch almost closed unless you had canoe you could carry to the water! All the local res. low, land is bone dry. Between a juniper removal project and a real mad house of uncontrolled users before I got there (according to . USFS) lot';s of the area got trashed ! 

 

Anyway had the place to myself most of the time, found a shady campsite, read allot, had a vodka or two, and walked the dog  in the early morn and evening, and road out the worst of it-better than sitting at home. Frig thermostat went on the blink on Sunday and had to drink warm beer, so I came home yesterday. Be careful out there folks it  will be in the 100's later this week in the high desert with Red Flag warnings projected for the near future. Oh by the way, my local rv place said it may take a year to get a new thermostat, the demand for rv stuff  is through the roof these days!  Guess I had better break out the old cooler and return to the days of old camping of the past. Have a fun summer!  PS: date stamp is wrong on photo!

We're having some convective excitement going on here in Central Oregon this evening! 

 

There's a Red Flag warning on, but it's raining hard (at my house) so maybe that'll mitigate a bit.

Pretty good T-storms here with plenty of thunder, buckets of heavy rain and lightning here now in Susanville! Reno weather says expect more over the next few days until the 100 degree days hit-almost glad I'm not camped in some gully out there somewhere.

we have a red flag warning here as well on puget sound as well. Oh no, its gonna be 85, with nights in 60's. And that constitutes a red flag warning ?? Thought I had read it wrong, so reloaded three x

Was 7 day forecast when we had predicted 117 degrees F. In Portland, Oregon metro area.

Unfortunately, I linked a dynamic image which updated frequently, so I deleted the link.
