It is VERY smokey all over Yosemite from the control burns and the smoke even extends over to the east side of the sierra. There is also lots of clouds and the forecast is for thunderstorms and we have already seen some rain around the Yosemite Creek area on Hwy120. Yosemite Valley is going to be hot again with temperatures in the 90's.  This is a good time to head for the river.

This photos shows the thick smoke around Half Dome this mroning.

The fires burning are lightning cause. The NPS is monitoring them and allowing them to continue burning as long as they don't threaten to get to extreme or smokey.
