This wildfire smoke thing was not a thing like this in the 80s and 90s, that I recall. In other news, the humidity right now is quite impressive.

Ended up with 1.5 inch of much needed rain.

92 for the high here. -
88 yesterday and 91 today. Dews around 70 today. Not as bad as last week, but also, getting more acclimated to the heat/humidity.
-
94 today. Surprised how acclimated I’ve become, but I guess the same thing happens in winter.
-
Much like the last heatwave, temp somewhat underperformed here. DTW hit 94, the NWS forecast was 99.
-
Is that your first time hitting 100? I haven't seen 100 since 2012. How warm did it get in your house?

Mount Holly AFD snippet- While some areas will likely reach the century mark again, it will not be quite to the magnitude that we experienced to start July. Humidity will be a little less as well, and the hottest conditions will only last for one day. However, heat index values are still forecast to range from 100-109 degrees for most of the area, again hottest from along and southeast of I-95. A modest westerly, offshore wind near 10-15 mph should help keep the sea breeze from making much inland progress during the afternoon hours. Thus, we expect high temperatures in the mid to upper 90s and heat indices near 100-105 degrees even for the New Jersey Shore and Delaware Beaches. The limiting factor in how much we heat will be smoke from Canadian wildfires. We are already seeing the first plume of wildfire smoke dropping south into the the Mid-Atlantic this afternoon and that will insulate the region from the highest heat. The smoke should again help mitigate how much heating we receive tomorrow so while temps are going to be hot and there are no changes to any heat headlines, we are not fully maximizing the potential heat that the thermal profile suggests we could warm to.

I'd watch the 10:00 PM - 1:00 AM window. If the HRRR is right with that evolving cluster there may be some significant wind damage (assuming storms can root surface-based). That's some insane DCAPE values Very high derecho composite parameter too. Suggestive of increased potential anything becoming organized may develop an organized cold pool, enhancing wind potential.
