Today’s Forecast: “Clouds, Claps, and Smoke”

Greetings, Sachigo Lake residents! Today is one of those ‘pack an umbrella and stay indoors if you can’ days. Expect scattered showers that will most likely retreat by late afternoon, but we’re still on a 40% chance alert for more rain.

The unique twist today? Patches of local smoke drifting through late morning and afternoon. If you’re wondering about the rain, we’re expecting a generous 10 to 15 mm.
