Parts of Western Washington, the Spokane area, Missoula, and Bozeman all have layers of smoke from wildfires in the Pacific Northwest. We've finally run out of luck for the year.

I've got hazy conditions all the way in eastern Massachusetts this morning from them, as I did in 2020 and 2021.

600-or-so acre grass/brush fire about 10 miles from me, but what else is new? Besides, it's raining this morning so we're probably good, or at least better.

So far it really hasn’t been that noteworthy of a fire season in central California.  The biggest news story was the fire that got into Mariposa Grove in Yosemite.  The trees were fine given the park has a suppression system.

Guess it's time to start locking down access to the great outdoors. We're too stupid as a society to handle basic rules like "Don't bring fireworks into a dry, crispy forest" it seems.

They'll just bring the surveillance state to the woods.

Satellite view of Washington from a few days ago:



The winds have since shifted to cover more of the Puget Sound region.
