Extreme heat, dryness and storm/fire risk

Late-summer heat remains entrenched, with repeated upper-90s to 100-degree-plus highs, limited rain, warm nights and gusty winds keeping outdoor, lake-recreation and wildfire risks elevated around Lake Elbo. New regional forecasts add no Lake Elbo-specific conditions or guidance and largely repeat the existing pattern; residents should continue hydration, activity planning and heat-illness precautions.
