That many down strikes there’s going to be some sleepers waking up with a drying trend starting. Next few days could be interesting.

[milehighbar]

I agree. You would think.

URGENT - FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Medford OR
1245 PM PDT Sun Aug 25 2019

.A disturbance will move up from the south Wednesday morning. This
system is expected to tap into some moisture from what is
currently tropical depression Ivo. The combination of increasing
moisture, instability and trigger could bring abundant lightning
on dry fuels starting late Wednesday morning into Wednesday
evening. There is a chance thunderstorms could produce little or no
rainfall. This will follow two days of hot temperatures with
triple digit readings for interior west side valleys Tuesday and
Wednesday.

[A904G]

May it rain like there is no tomorrow with these storms and put an end to the foaming!

[Zacatack27]

Takes me back to ‘87… (I was 2 years old then) But I’ve heard the other, more experienced folks talk about it!

[grouserarouser]

2008 was also significant. Might go to one more fire before the career change.

[Zacatack27]

That’s perfect! Just come up and play with us!

[milehighbar]

Everyone I talk to, more science, met types who know nor cal say this one is for real. Just passing this along. I for one will believe it when/if I see it.
