Warm and dry week with morning marine layer burning off quickly. Average high 70.0f, low 52.8f; ETo, season high so far, 0.62". Ruth Lake Reservoir on 7/2 94%. Rivers continue to drop, but warming to low 70s now. Lots of tourists, and 4th of July celebrations. The bike tour business is doing well, as my son is doing tours 6 days out of 7, sometimes 12 days straight. Prescribed burns continue, and the Six Rivers National Forest issued new fire regulations on the 1st of July pertaining to fires, smoking and internal combustion engines in wilderness areas. And late June saw the 4th Annual Cultural Fire Symposium with Tribal and Cal Fire representatives at the Blue Lake Rancheria. (Short note on why I like CoCoRaHS--my sister is a retired NOAA/NWS meteorologist/scientist and my brother-in-law is Director of NOAA's Western Region Climate Center in Reno, and he and Nolan Doesken were college roommates.)
