The Bride and I spent a few days in the Cascades, at our favorite lazy camping spot, Hosmer Lake.   We noticed a big buildup of thunder bumpers over South Sister, Broken Top and Mt. Bachelor.   Below is a photo near sundown.   This morning, when we drove down through Sun River, we noticed about 4 inches of hail still on the ground.   Flooded streets and white stuff on the road.   It looked fairly localized, but wow did they get hammered.

Dramatic sky!  Very nice.

 

In Bend last night the sunset light was very red -- combination of forest fire smoke and thunderclouds...lightning flashing and thunder rumbling after dark.  Just a very brief heavy shower at my place.

We've had more than our usual number thunderstorms in Central Oregon this year (not just my perception, but according to "authorities").

We got absolutely hammered with thunderstorms in August.  September is looking to be a lot better.

I was over at Hosmer and Crane at the same time. It was crazy.

Oregon still burning or are you getting smoke from the CA fires?

Much less in Oregon than earlier in the summer.

 

When I was driving from Redding to Bend last Sunday it was very smoky from about Dunsmuir until I got well north of Weed (on US 97).  In fact, Mt. Shasta (the mountain) was almost invisible from Mt Shasta (the town) and Weed due to the smoke from the fires to the west.  As seen in the Inciweb map:

OK, I have to modify, take back a little of what I said yesterday about little smoke in Oregon...

 

This morning I woke up and first thing I noticed was the the morning light was red -- the kind of red caused by light-through-smoke.

I see from this satellite image that the winds (light, right now) are from the SE, so a fire east of Bend is putting smoke in front the of the morning light.  (the top arrow in the photo below)

You can see the plumes from a couple of other fires drifting from SE to NW:
