I must be getting used to it. Was outside in the yard from 10:30-5 and didn't really notice the smoke. Or the heat for that matter...

Some smoke around Sandpoint Idaho, but not that bad.

Not to sound pessimistic, but we had a nice cool rainy forecast next week, changed this morning. Only 30% on some days and sunny from Tuesday on.

How often does it actually turn into meaningful rain? Like 10% of the time?

Yeah we got a good soak downtown too, along with some lightning and a few good boomers. Started right after I got back from Edmonton, glad it waited for me

NW of the province getting drenched. 50-100mm expected and most of the NW province under rainfall warnings.

You love to see it

Don't think I've ever been so excited to see a radar map, AB so colorful with precipitation just about everywhere.

My lawn looks happy too

You know you live in Calgary when you're cheering on 10 minutes of rain in spring like it's the 2 week drenching you need to get things on track, lol.

Nice to see the number of active wildfires dropping significantly.


Was over a hundred a few days ago-
