Dark Skies forecast says we will go down to 50° here at the house. Thank goodness the smoke has decreased!
Mark, I just polished off a nice bowel of sherbet, now I’m looking for a sweater.

Today’s, (7/22) low was 39 degrees at 05:56hrs for Redmond Ore. Close enough to the dew point that my dogs paws were damp from going outside to do his morning business. It was certainly a nice break from temperatures of the recent past.

A friend of mine in Twentynine Palms (in the Mojave Desert, California, north of Joshua Tree NP) said they had big-time monsoon rain there last night.
Seems like some of that monsoonal moist air has made it clear up here to Central Oregon. It's cloudy (at least partly) for the first time in weeks. As a result it didn't get quite as hot today as it was yesterday...but on the downside, it's not cooling down as quickly as it has nor as much. At about 8 pm it's still 85F, which is very warm for evening in Bend. Low tonight is forecast to be about 65F, which is very warm for an overnight low here.

Per a thread on CBrats, the ramps are all closed, but people are launching from the beach. I’m guessing Matt Winder is going to get a number of new videos from Lone Rock.

It's been showering here, off and on, since early this morning. Alright!
It's nice to hear water dribbling down the downspouts...

Been a while since I've seen this much white over the land in the West.

Yes, it is a pretty amazing pattern. We had showers last night and into early this morning. The clouds are beginning to give way to clear skies.

Woke up this morning to nice clear sky.
Went to the rec trail in Monterey for a nice walk without many people.
On our return home found fog at the house.
Oh well it keeps the temps down.

And the smoke rolls on in. Can't really complain, we've been very lucky so far this year.
Two things are happening today.
#1 The wind has shifted...it's mostly a NORTH wind in the valley now which is a warming dry wind. This will stop onshore winds that can help cool us AND they warm us up...one big reason why we are 100+ today and for the rest of the week.
#2 SMOKE is now moving OUT of the Dixie fire area and the Feather River Canyon (hwy 70) and not moving south to more populated areas like Oroville, Chico, Sacramento etc.
Since this pattern will repeat the next few days I think smoke becomes more prominent.
Purple air is a private company with a network of personal air sensors and they are showing UNHEALTHY red air for Sacramento and spots north. They also show HAZARDOUS air closer to the fire.
You don't need a fancy sensor though...if you smell smoke...it's there and you can be affected so take it easy and take precautions because the long hot smoky summer that everybody else has had...is in many more spots today.
