Mainly clear with little signs of smoke in southern Alberta along Highway 3 (first pic), with similar conditions near the crowsnest pass close to the AB/BC border (second pic).

Smoke became more visible aloft traveling west of Fernie and visibility lowered here in Cranbrook (third pic) with surface level smoke returning along with the smell.

Thanks. :thumbup:

Just using my LG phone. Take a bunch whenever I'm in the passenger seat in the car but it's hard to get camera focus with the glare, high speed and shaking. :lol:

On that topic... over the years, I've always noticed general highway quality/conditions has been better in BC compared with Alberta.

If I remember this stat correctly, we had a 76 day stretch in June - September 1896 with less than 10mm of precip (recorded at the old Steveston station I think).

Other stat guys on the forum like @Goose or @Glacier can confirm but that is likely the driest stretch in recorded history across the south coast.

I'm not at home so I can't make nice graphs until August 8.

I bet someone that we would see rain within the next 2 weeks. How safe do you think that bet is?

Is there a minimum amount? I can almost guarantee someone will see raindrops. Getting a soaking feels like 50/50 at best.

Depends, do you have more faith in the GFS/GEM or Euro? ;)

Tonight's 00Z Euro will be interesting, does it cave or stick to its guns?
