Much needed rain and cool weather earlier this week--over 1" following a very dry previous month. Even the grass greened up. But the cool temps (highs in the 50s) are now gone and it's hot and dry--normal late July weather. High of 88 yesterday. There was a large 400-acre cheatgrass wildfire yesterday on some degraded former grazing land, although nothing except cheatgrass is really dry enough to burn right now. Going with near normal, but things are going to dry out quickly.
