Monsoon Clouds - Our Summer Rainy Season is Close
June 26
Today we have clouds to the north of us. Not smoke and ash clouds either – good ol’ monsoon precursor clouds. It looks like they may be getting a light rain toward Strayhorse and the Blue. That is the fire hot spot on the south line. Rain would be a real blessing for the firefighters working there. Actually everywhere in the forest is bone dry – rain is needed everywhere. But I think everyone up here would donate their share of rainfall to our friends in the path of Wallow fire if we could. I sure hope the clouds I can see from the cabin are raining on the fire! The fire is over 70% contained. A good soaking rain might end the biggest fire in Arizona history. Come on clouds – rain for us!!!!
Hi
Great to hear rain has finally come. hopefully the fire will go out for good and no more peoples homes will be lost.
Well- the clouds were just teasing.We got about 10 drops of rain yesterday. This whole afternoon has been dark and stormy looking- with maybe 5 drops of rain. Hopefully some other parts of the forest got rain.
I think the fire is over 80% contained- after 538,000 acres burned. Now we just need the lightning not to start more fires.
