The endless chatter of weather.

@outdoor_lover Coconino is a big forest.

That's the Rolls Fire, the result of a lightning strike around 8 pm August 18.
I wondered where all the smoke came from when I went out hiking in the Hawes area yesterday morning... I could only make out the outline of Red Mountain, which cleared a bit when the wind picked up.

And for you lovers of the Hualapai Mountians:

Because if the Superstitions, Catalinas, and to some extent the Rincons aren't enough for you, the Hualapais, too.

I think a more efficient system for tracking these fires could be the FS just tells us the handful of places that are not burning vs trying to track all the areas that are on fire...

@Jim_H
There are homes in those mountains, the fire will be out by the afternoon.

@friendofThundergod They’ll push it toward Wabayuma. That’s designated wilderness so there’s nothing worth saving there.

@chumley Can I recommend pushing it towards Mohon instead?

All this talk of pushing it!

@Jim_H
A side of you few have seen

@Alston_Neal
And there have been a few that have seen nearly every side of him

@friendofThundergod
Yeah, the group text is widely known. Wah Wah Wawawawawa!

@Jim_H
For the record, I do not think I am in that group message

Also why hasn't this recent thread been moved to the favorite color forum yet? lol

@friendofThundergod
Apparently Joe slows down to look at car wrecks just like us

Bummer! That's Cousin G's regular hiking spot.

I heard an uncorroborated report of a fire in the Sups this evening...; anyone?

@hikeaz Yes, near 5057. About 100 acres so far.

Yes I have a friend that lives just north west of Silly mountain and he has posted a picture of it.

I thought this was a weather thread, not the fire thread? It rained for 2 hours straight out here in Doney Park just north of Flagstaff, yesterday. A bit of lightning, and the power went out for a little while.

We had a rogue break off cloud that wandered over to our neighborhood last night. Dumped an inch of rain on us, while two miles away they only received a third of that. Was watching the monsoon radar for Tucson and weird to watch one lone tiny super cell float over and hang out over my area for an hour.
