This was earlier as I was driving to cumberland farms

It is absolutely the smoke from Canadian wildfires. The northeast is getting the smoke bad. Here's some sat photos, the fires go way up into the north, but the worst is in the Ontario province.

Much better now

The Jordan Creek along route 100 looks about ready to dry up completely. I've never seen it this low before.

High of 99 at 4:47pm. No smoky smell, but can see the smoke nearly overhead. Sunset should be interesting.

Yeah, it’s been weird how dark it’s been for the past four hours.

High of 90 today Side note: Has anyone else noticed the color of the sky this afternoon and evening and the orange sun? Is that smoke from the wildfires in Canada?

almost gone here

Well, in due time. I like to enjoy seasons 1 at a time

Goes satellite is down . It still shows smoke into C NH. If it’s clear and sunny into MA

I see Blue SKY... about time!

I'll have a blog update within the next few days, followed by an ENSO update next week.

Will we all lose our tans the next few weeks from smoke out?

I've come up with 6 Solar analogs and 5/6 averaged positive NAO in the seasonal mean (one was very slightly negative), 3/6 had at least one month between DJFM that averaged -NAO and it looks as though the strongest signal is March. My money is on Chuck's formula shifting more positive from here on out, but I don't expect it to be an overwhelming signal, like last year.

Waiting on the four horsemen to start appearing any moment now..

You really did need gills to breathe today... it's amazing how much you sweat just doing something simple like walking a few blocks to the neighborhood market to pick up a few things. Topped out at 98 officially here in Philly. Would have probably made a run at 100+ had there not been so many clouds... think most of the smoke stayed north today.

Thanks

93 today here and MLI. Smoke will miss northeast of here completely.

and the GOES Sats are down Sector Images: Northeast - NOAA / NESDIS / STAR
