Yosemite Fires and Salt Lake Heat

I have a busy day today with little time to blog.  Thus, for your entertainment purposes, I provide the time lapse below of the Rim Fire in Yosemite National Park.  Courtesy National Park Service.  At the end, they provide a few clips showing generally clear skies in Yosemite Valley, presumably to encourage visitors and help keep the local economy going.

In addition, a summary of the summer thus far from the Salt Lake City National Weather Service Forecast Office showing where we stand for a number of records.
