Smoke is getting heavier . My eyes are starting to hurt here in Brooklyn.
-
Have a feeling air going to get nasty around here tonight into tomorrow. Areas in PA going into very unhealthy to hazardous air quality which they only had it getting to code red. Pittsburgh already into very unhealthy levels.

UN has been reviewing data from east oatmeal pennsylvania and climate change is fake again

The continuing GOES-19 outage, which may continue into or even through this evening, is likely affecting HRRR smoke forecasts, as real-time satellite data is not present. That adds a dose of uncertainty into smoke conditions this afternoon and this evening. Here are recent conditions based on the observed data: Assuming a light westerly flow continues through this evening, some denser smoke will probably move into the New York City area this evening or early tonight.

At 1 PM I noted that we were in a severe-warned block, but when I went to find the parameters, GYX had dropped the SVR as the storm had weakened. First drops at 1:10 then at 1:15 RA+ and gust after gust arrived - trees pushed around like I hadn't seen since Dec 2023, probably well into the 40s. Strong but short of SVR criteria. 1:18 the genny kicked in (still running now at 2:15) and the heavy rain backed down by 1:20, nearly stopped at 1:25. 0.29" in the gauge, mostly in the 1:15-1:20 span. During the lighter rain a surprisingly wet hummingbird landed on the feeder only 3 feet from me and had a long drink. Only 2 strikes, both distant but enough that the dog hid. I walked out our gravel road, saw that the outage was caused elsewhere, and confirmed that none of the 120-foot-plus pines had fallen.

Just got done staining a large deck with oil base stain. My employee looked at me while wiping oil on his face while attempting to wipe away the sweat and said, this is hell on earth. How do you do it everyday. I said "because I like it". He told me I was sick in the head. It's 98, humid and smoky. What's not to like. Better then being in an office building.

I'm guessing there will be a lag with the live maps updating (they're still not working).

Surprised there's no heat advisory today when the heat index has gotten to 103/104 which is what was listed for the advisory a day or so before -
I just saw that - that's nuts. Even if it drops below 80 later before 1am, having them stay over 80 overnight is crazy.

GOES-19 Update #3 — Imaging expected to resume this afternoon NOAA reports that DCS and Search-and-Rescue services returned at 12:30 p.m. EDT on July 16. Engineers are now restoring the Advanced Baseline Imager, with GOES-East imaging expected to resume by 3:00 p.m. EDT today. Initial image navigation may be slightly degraded during the first hour. The remaining instruments will be restored in this order: ABI, GLM lightning mapper, SUVI, then the space-weather instruments. NOAA estimates that returning all GOES-19 instruments to normal operations will take approximately eight hours. This is the first official restoration timeline, but GOES-19 is not yet fully operational.

My area has had some thunderstorms pop-up with light rain starting ~2PM. This may not amount to too much.
-
GOES East is back up.

something’s still wrong with goes east, the whole metro is covered in some kind of gray haze

2026-2027 Super El Nino
GaWx replied to Stormchaserchuck1's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
The latest daily OISST anomaly update for 3.4 had a warming of a whopping 0.13C, which is the largest rise since June 4th. This is the kind of move that will probably be needed from time to time to get August averaged out up to the mid +2s: -
Having experienced a situation where i could not see the ground from the 17th floor of my apt in Wnnipeg from peat fires hundreds of miles away, i beg to differ..I woke up thinking my apt was on fire, there was smoke in the hall…but one look outside and it was obvious that it wasnt my apt…still, i bet no one is actively fighting these fires…

Not much of a smoke smell here thankfully -
The big question is are those readings in WNY going to make it into the area or no?
-
Good map. Link below. You can click on the link then click circles to get the actual reading. There are readings in the 600- 800 range over MN/WI. https://fire.airnow.gov/#4.77/44.35/-79.59

Should we all be worried that a major weather satellite went down or is this somewhat normal?
