I listen to news radio for traffic reports, and this is getting increasing coverage. As it is, we're over 100 consecutive days with no rain, and none is in sight. Temps next week of 115+ as you also pointed out. It's bone dry now, and fires are popping left and right. So far they've been on the small side, but one up above Wikieup, on the way to Kingman is approaching 3,000 acres. It's going to be bad if we don't get much of a monsoon this year.

I'd be concerned at this point.

...AIR QUALITY ALERT IS IN EFFECT FOR THURSDAY JULY 6...

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has

Susquehanna Valley.

A Code ORANGE Air Quality Alert means that air pollution
concentrations within the region may become unhealthy for
sensitive groups. Sensitive groups include children, people
suffering from asthma, heart disease or other lung diseases,
and the elderly. The effects of air pollution can be minimized
by avoiding strenuous activity or exercise outdoors.

New Drought map.  Quite similar....most people in D2 stayed there and some people avoided it with weekend rains.

Northeast Drought Summary

Heavy rains fell in parts of the Northeast this week, bringing continued relief to areas of drought and abnormal dryness (particularly along the Atlantic coast from Philadelphia up through New York and through Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine) and improving streamflows and alleviating some of the short-term precipitation deficits. The North Atlantic coast saw abnormal dryness completely removed from Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, except for the Cape Cod area, which still remains in abnormally dry condition. Conditions also improved in parts of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia due to scattered heavy rains in the last week. Severe drought in central Maryland and southeast Pennsylvania remains from last week.

Full Summary
