Combine that with the fact that Northwest Montana is having its driest June since 1910.

We all know what happened in 1910.

I'm not saying it's going to happen this summer, but it is going to happen, and it's going to hurt. Get your beer on ice now.

Decent open window night temps. We've had, and are having, a moderate June....and our reservoirs are at 100%....out of a 5 year catastrophic drought.

Exactly what I was thinking!

I bet a lot of you folks out there don't even have air conditioning.. Drink lots of water!

Hopefully it cools back down soon.. I'm coming out July 12-18 for a week in the Bob. Wasn't planning for that kind of heat.

Yep, big fires on the horizon.

My grandpappy would say, "That is hotter than a $5 pistol."

110 degree highs in Boise for Sunday and Monday. I'm predicting it's the start of 40 consecutive days of 100 degree plus heat in Boise. We had 30+ days in a row about 5-6 years back but I don't recall hitting 110 degrees. This sucks!

You don't need air conditioning in Montana. mtmuley

Double post, oops

Is it wrong if I hope for this in certain places?

That said, man its dry already and their is nothing about this heat I'm looking forward to

I don't think so at all.

It will certainly hurt though when/if places like Lincoln or Seeley Lake turn to ash overnight.

After spending last weekend looking for moose in the Lochsa, I can definitely agree with you.

Living in the chimney called the Bitterroot sucks for a couple months though.

 

[MT_elk]

Definitely not looking forward to this hot weather. We need to pray for rain!

Growing up in Las Vegas it was always HOT, I'm talking 115+ around July 4th. Yet every year my mother who is 89 says it never used to get this hot. It's funny how people remember things differently.
That 110 for you guys up in the northern states must feel ike hell.

You're a glutton for punishment, did you draw?

We've already been in it for the last 2 weeks. Local high temps beginning June13- 94, 96, 100, 99, 98, 99, 96, 92, 95,100, 98,100. Forecast for next 2 days, 98, 96, a week from 83-90, then 99, 98, etc.. Atop that we've only had 1/2" of rain at my house in the last 7.5 weeks. My yard looks as brown as a cow chip with cracks in the clay you can stick your hand into. I can stand the heat but we seriously need rain.

 

[WapitiBob]

State Field tournament this weekend. Should be real interesting.

 

[NKQualtieri]

Sounds like a good weekend to get to higher elevation here in MT

No, a friend did. I think I'm going to be conveniently unavailable when it comes time to try and kill one in there.
