Yeah, 3k southeast of us at Oroville with evacuations, 6k west of Weaverville with Evacuations and 100+ structures lost, and a lightning complex to the east. I've been watching these for affects on my projects and being on the highway damage assessment team, but haven't been called out yet. Between the CalFfire and USFSweb pages there is a pretty good amount of updates. We keep closing roads in our district because of the fires. . Luckily we haven't had to close I-5 YET.

Check out the Caltrans Quick Map for traffic and incidents.

Yes! Happy Labor Day everyone!

WAYYYyyy cooler today. We have a strong on-shore flow going, and the current OAT is 69. _MY_ kind of weather.

Gonna throw some bacon on the BBQ, and make some bacon/blue cheese stuffed burgers for later this afternoon. Should be nice.

Well, we dropped a good 10*+ here. The down side is that there is a large thunderstorm that has moved through the area with forecast of ping pong ball sized hail possible. Didn't see it here though.

On the down side, I nailed the top of my knee cap on the tailgate of a trailer and am limping pretty bad from the pain even 8 hours later. I'm hoping that this doesn't affect my match this weekend.

Hope it heals by then too.

Would be nice if the temps went lower than 98 here. Can't wait for Fall to arrive.

Yeah, but we will be whining that we want the three days of fall back once "winter" sets in.

Well, it completely flipped here. A few days ago the temp wouldn't go below 88; even at night.

This morning, we woke up to 56 degree temp, 20 MPH wind, and 100% humidity (yes, the proverbial pea soup). It looks thick enough right now that it might not burn off all day.

I love the temperature, but the lack of sun is a bit depressing. Oh well.

Only 3 days of Fall eh? We usually get two weeks of Fall before Winter arrives.
Pea soup eh? Not here. however, it is nice out side, with no real heat yet.
