Yeah we had that last evening in Raleigh. You can tell in some of the sunset images in this reel of shots I put together from the Dix Park sunflowers: https://www.facebook.com/reel/27933012633049621

Looks like mby got a storm on the 9th. PWS shows .50". Not much else while I was away. Everything just as brown as when I left for vacation.

thick af

those fires have been happening a long time. i moved to Winnipeg in 1976, and along I-29 north of Grand Forks ND looked like the apocolypse. They are peat fires, they spontaneously combust, and can smolder underground through the winter. They happen in the US and Canada. They often happen in unpopulated areas.. nothing human built there, so there is no effort to put them out..They have been happening for thousands of years..

If I had to guess, your nose is probably picking up a bit of peat+muskeg burning mixed in there. People have no idea how much worse it can get once the main shield peatlands and mixed peat/forest stands start burning. Gonna guess winter is going to be extremely warm up there this year and tilt the dice towards early warming/drying of those areas into next summer.

The worst of it isn't supposed to be until later this afternoon and early evening.

stuck using goes west sucks, still looks like worst is just east but yeah, it's clearly awful out

this is the worst it has been for our area. gonna be some record aqi’s.

seems fine

1997 -1998 would be a case of the warmest departures for NYC occurring in January and February. The actual February average temperature was the warmest monthly temperature of the winter. Dec…38.2°….+2.0 Jan…40.0°…..+8.6° Feb…..40.6°….+7.0° 2023-2024 had the warmest departure in December and the 2nd warmest in February. Dec…44.6°…..+5.5° Jan….37.0°……+3.3° Feb….40.1°……+4.2° 2015-2016 was the most extreme front-loaded super El Niño for warmth with +13.3 in December. Dec….50.8°…..+13.3° Jan…..34.5°….+1.9° Feb…..37.7°……+2.4°

There’s a 1500 near the Canadian border in the Minnesota arrowhead region. I looked at the trace and they topped 2000 yesterday.

I just don’t want the smoke to kill any storms on Saturday

got to get rid of this northwesterly flow

yeah that was nuts. sitting inside with a mask on and could still smell it

Seems like it's mostly in the unhealthy for sensitive groups category in our area. Nothing compared to what happened a few years ago.

Most of it is probably aloft.

If it is a +NAO I already know the Southeast Sanitarium is going to be past max capacity Sent from my SM-S176V using Tapatalk

Region 1+2 is just going to strengthen and strengthen till its heart’s content:

The smell was worse yesterday which is strange. Unless I’m just used to it now.

Mine is 96 or 126 depending on which site I use

Looks like 24 to 36"

Surprised the AQI isn't higher with all this smoke.
