Today [okay, there is about a half hour left in this day!] started out overcast. By early morning, skies were starting to show drift smoke effect from wildfires. This afternoon, a fire about 100 miles southwest of us has had the prevailing winds push dense smoke into our area. Irritated eyes, difficult breathing, poor driving conditions. Earlier this evening we had lightning and thunder storms nearby, but no rain, dang it. Watching local scanner pages for fire starts, and hoping there are none. We are bone dry.
