Good morning everyone. There are times we question why we live where we do and that comes up frequently here as we approach summer. Unlike RB, thunderstorms and "thunder-boomers" are rare here in the desert. To be sure, if we miss anything about the weather here, it's the rain. When we have humidity in the single-digits and dew points close to zero degrees, you know that it's dry.... but hot. Temps are now in the triple digits and will stay that way until around the end of September. I'm not complaining... well, just a little bit, but if anyone feels like they would like to share their rain and push it over this way for just a little while, we'd be grateful. 
The fire up near Sedona is winding down, with over 50% containment. There are still close to 900 firefighters there, down from 1200 earlier this week. Those that were evacuated are allowed to go home and they're reopening parts of 89A. They say that everything south of the highway is untouched, but the north part is devastated. 25,000 acres burned and still more to come. That was one of the prettiest drives in America, and it looks like it'll be a while before it is again.
They are still looking for the person that started it.
