We have had Near Normal conditions this week with 0.83" of precipitation falling over 2 days. Temperatures this week were a roller-coaster, ranging widely from a low of 36F to a high of 87F. Most days this week we were plagued with smokey skies that have resulted from Canadian wildfires, and sometimes our air quality reached unhealthy levels with recommendations to avoid outdoors activities. Irises, bleeding hearts, columbine, and rhododendrons are blooming. The lawn grass is green and lush. Local fields have corn coming up.
