8/11/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Clear, calm, and 57F at obs. Hi yestd.93F with significant ash fall and smoke from the Chips fire. If the ash were snow it would have been a "trace". Adding insult to injury, the same fire burned out our power lines - 50 miles from here- so we had no power in the evening. Red disk of the sun looked apocalyptic.
8/12/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 M Clear, calm, and 58F at obs. Band of smoke to the northwest. Hi yestd. 93F and continued warm with no relief in sight. Some smoke but no ash fall last night.

8/15/2012 7:00 AM 0.02 0.0 M 0.0 M PC (5/10, cirrus), clouds obscured by smoke, calm and 69F. Hi yestd. 95F. Interesting if miserable pattern, thunderstorm and some rain at 5 PM, we remain bullseye for smoke/ash fall from upwind fires southwest and monsoonal flow aloft. Very warm overnight. Temp "crashed" 18 degrees in 20 minutes with thunderstorm but then rose again for 5 hrs. to 82f and 30+ west winds at 10 PM with blinding smoke and vis less than 1/2 mile. Not pretty.

An apocalyptic red sun rising over a fire of more than 200,000 acres to the east along with two continuing fires of over 100,000 to the west. Like a 3rd world country, power was out for 10 hrs. at peak use (and heat) for 3rd day in a row. So, we languished in the hot, smoky dark with no AC, watching a wall of flame advance over the Skedaddle Mts. Misery index a hi 9...
8/18/2012 7:00 AM T 0.0 M 0.0 M Overcast (alto cum/cirrus), smoke, west winds 15-20, and 73F at obs. Uncommon to ridiculous weather for here, warmest night of the year, monsoonal moisture streaming over from the southwest, brief shower at about 6 AM, Hi yestd. 94F but at least the power remained on. Vast wild fires in all directions but none close. One large connvective cell north near Eagle Lake produced lightning strikes at about 10 per minute for over 20 minutes last night. Quite a show but may well start even more fires. Our usual boring summer weather is not now boring.
