There's beach day heat, and then there's "rising dough in the back of a truck" heat. Apparently the area is experiencing the latter.

A truck hauling yeast along Interstate 5 in Tacoma began leaking dough from the top, with clumps of the dough falling off onto the freeway behind it.

Washington State Trooper Brooke Bova finally got the truck to pull over near the 56th Street ramp, and found that the conditions were just right for rising.

RELATED: There was a whole lotta dough flying on the highway, but not the green kind.

"I talked to the truck driver and apparently all the yeast and the combination of the heat is making the dough rise up and fall onto the freeway," Bova said in a KOMO News article.

"Right when you think you've seen it all, you get dough on the freeway."

WSDOT crews were on the scene assisting with clean up and helping the truck to get prepared. With any luck it'll be less slimey than the Oregon snot snakes.

Bread, anyone?
