After spending a long wet weekend with family in Portland my drive home yesterday was without any rain and more sunshine as I made my way south. As I drove the back roads home through Green Valley farmers were out in their fields cutting hay in hopes that no more rain is in the forecast for awhile. Everything is still green, the birds are singing under clear skies as the afternoons begin to warm up. Most of the grass that has been cut will need to be cut again before it dries out and we are under the restrictions of fire season which starts June 24th. Wonder if we will make through this summer without the threat of fires? Summer has arrived, be prepared!
I'm sure you know the answer to that rhetorical question! A senior meterologist and his team with Accuweather predicts an above-normal 2022 wildfire season. Nationwide, early predictions point to about 70,000 fires and 8 million acres burned. https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-forecasts/accuweather-2022-us-wildfire-forecast/1178642
