Tue July 30: Get set for another heatwave! Highs middle 80's today (Tuesday), around 90 on Wednesday, near 100 on Thursday, then mostly around the middle 90's from Friday (Aug 2) through Friday of NEXT WEEK (Aug 9). At this time, near normal temperatures are more likely than not Aug 10-20 (may change, how it looks now). Our normal high is 84°. No rain in sight through the middle of August. I expect a La Nina to fully develop between the end of August and middle of Sept. Preliminarily, odds favor BELOW NORMAL precipitation for all of fall but we may then transition to a wetter than normal winter which may possibly continue into spring. Currently, there is no threat to Cottage Grove from the regional fires that are burning.
