FireWxPy by @firewxguy.bsky.social rocks. Check out this set of cross-sections as strong downslope flow initiates over the Cascades this afternoon. Notice the hydraulic jump area pushing eastward through the evening. Extreme fire behavior is possible on any new ignitions in the rangeland today.

It can difficult to communicate drought in an area where 50-60" of rain over 12 months falls 20"+ short of normal!
