Next Week

A weather pattern change next week may bring modest relief from the recent siege of massive, destructive wildfires and cloak of dense smoke across parts of Washington, Oregon and California.

As of Thursday, over half of the 100 large wildfires burning in the West were in California, Oregon and Washington, according to the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC). Malden, Washington, and Phoenix, Oregon, were just two of the towns scorched.

"I've talked to people who have been in fire for 20, 30, 40+ years and they've never seen anything like this before," said NIFC fire meteorologist Nick Nauslar in a tweet Tuesday evening.

Another fast-spreading wildfire prompted evacuation orders in the foothills of the Sierra near Oroville, California, early Wednesday, just east of the town of Paradise, devastated by the November 2018 Camp Fire.

I certainly hope so. Air quality is as bad as I've ever seen it in my area.

1. The Rain forcast

only calls for a minimal accumulation,one to two tenths.

2. It's not much, but we'll take it!

Even a little rain can help. I hope some of it goes to Oregon and Northern California too, where it's desperately needed.
