Temperatures will peak in the 90s on Wednesday for counties in the Columbia Basin, with very little wind. It will still be hot in the Columbia Basin on Thursday as winds pick up, but high temperatures will drop down to the mid-80s on Friday.
Other parts of the state will also get quite hot, hitting mid-80s or higher on Wednesday. Luckily, westerly winds are expected to pick up on Thursday afternoon and this will be accompanied by clouds and a cooling trend.
While we don't expect wildfire smoke this week, let's do our part to keep it that way! It's very important for people to practice fire safety on hot/dry days. Dry grasses are especially susceptible to human-caused ignition.
I am smelling wood smoke in Snohomish, WA and conditions are very hazy. I'm wondering where it's coming from, since the websites and smoke tracker apps I use aren't reporting any smoke in my area.
ReplyDeleteWe're not seeing any obvious source in that area. There was a 0.1 acre wildfire (put out at 9:40 am) on the south shore of Lake Cavanaugh but I think that’s too far away
