Came down to SLC today and it looks like Oakley did the day before. Unscientific observation is the smoke from Dollar Ridge has been the cause.Sport Modehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795367161723162069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-57095418114872388062018-07-06T12:10:20.778-06:002018-07-06T12:10:20.778-06:00Oddly, it seems that the same winds that brought i...Oddly, it seems that the same winds that brought in the smoke also brought in some moisture, with dewpoints 5 to 10 degrees higher than they were yesterday. Perhaps a sign of the monsoon to come?<br /><br />As for the heat, it looks like the observed low last night at the airport was 76. The current forecast shows a high of 104 and an overnight low of 79. I'm surprised the NWS doesn't have a heat advisory up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-35637792455800391962018-07-06T11:49:50.321-06:002018-07-06T11:49:50.321-06:00Yesterday in the late morning, up here in Alta, th...Yesterday in the late morning, up here in Alta, the smell of smoke coincided with a period of a few hours during which wind speeds picked up and the Baldy weather station recorded SE winds. I took that to mean smoke was from Dollar Ridge. Winds appear to have occasionally trended more due south over the last 24 hr, but overnight, they swung back around to ~135 picked up into the moderate range.
