The smoke is really thicc aloft now. We have CAA undercutting it…pretty gusty NW flow. 17G30mph at 1p1.

Window fans in tonight!!!

Hoping for plenty of LP supercells with tons of lightning in Canada the next month! Let's keep those fires roaring and spark some new ones

96/111 Hazy lazy crazy days of summer

My sister was flying in today from Florida to MQT and her connecting flight in Chicago to MQT has been cancelled due to visibility and ash. I've never seen smoke this bad at the surface before.

This looks like a landscape from Blade Runner

Multiple monitors from Duluth to Marquette in the 600-800+ range. Can’t remember ever seeing anything above 600. So far no smoke here, but the highest dewpoints of this heatwave so far.

I agree it's not as bad as 2023 yet but we do have snoke drifting through the air at ground level up here.

Code 'Brown' for oh crap.

Ah, its a new world out there.

Smoke gives the days a nice summer look and feel. Taste the season! Take

LGA has hit 98F even with the smoke lol.

Same agreed! 2023 was extreme. I think NYC had a AQI of over 400 in 2023 and the sky was bright orange on June 23rd 2023. I remember painting a house outside and in the morning the sky was blue but by the noon a thick haze settled over which then I had to put a mask on because it was very hard to breathe in it and by 2pm I said screw this and went home!

Agreed. Until I see smoke drifting through my neighborhood this is not close to 2023, so far.

Temp to 96 now that there is less smoke. Holly cow look at NY state, that is going to drop South.

The maps haven’t updated yet to include the wildfires in Ontario that started on July 13th.

Looks like ewr hit 98 but has dropped to 95

It's hard to assess without Daily Climate Composites page, but right now it looks pretty negative. July 15 is 50% of the way through, and I would say it's about ~-0.4 for DJFM NAO predictor.

Ducks game and fireworks Saturday night really hoping even night is salvageable

Guess it's a trade off. You get lower dews, we get slightly "lower" temps. 97F/DP 76F
