Hot Rocks Out West. Why?

Why are the rocks so hot? The image below was taken at 2:01 PM (PST) several days ago. This phenomenon occurs almost daily now.

Even today (July 24), it is has started (11:36 AM PST):

Understand that this is not a gradual heating: the surfaces go from the background temperature to black in a single image increment (5-min). The same happens when the black goes away; it doesn’t cool gradually, the black just switches off.

Baking the rocks would add more heat to the lower atmosphere, wouldn’t it?

Just paste the URL above and watch.

With all the talk of the extensive HAARP array in Antarctica, I am wondering if they are able to bounce micro-waves/lasers/??? and create specific zones like these in minutes. Like so many of these unusual occurrences, holographic images as tests for their upcoming “invasion”, for example, I am wondering if this is simply evidence of their weather warfare. My friend in Vienna said that it is unusually hot there but that in southern Austria, like New England here, they have devastating rains that have destroyed crops. Attacking food and water resources is their concentration right now.
