The Zacatecas Canyon fire broke out yesterday late afternoon, burning 10-30 acres. The canyon is 20 miles due east of us. I couldn't see any smoke plume while out walking the dogs, but this morning I definitely got a whiff of burning wood. We had no breeze this morning, either, and the horizon toward the east did look hazy. Susan didn't see any plume, either, but also reported smelling the fire.
It seems to have been contained overnight as there has been no updates of growth to that fire.
We are desperate for rain. The sky had clouded over when I left the high school to start the weekend, and virga clouds were north of town. We never got any precipitation though. No rain is forecasted for the next ten days.
One good piece of news: Governor Ducey has followed CDC guidelines and loosened mask wearing in public. Many stores in town are no longer making wearing them a requirement to enter. The CDC expects life will resume to normal by July, although I'm still seeing covid numbers in some US states stagnate (Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania). At least 513 US adults have received at least one covid vaccine, almost half the population.
