- Past hour
-
Small pretty intense thunderstorm dropping through Talbot County, was not expecting that
-
Thick smoke was no inhibitor for the nasty training storms in cntrl NJ today. And look at that CG density even zoomed up! CoastalWx: "WHY CAN'T WE GET THAT HERE!?" visloop5.mp4
-
Tomorrow going to be brutal out. Smoke filled air.
-
Hoboken ~7:30-8:00
-
The top of the TS at it's peak was around 60,000 ft earlier this evening. Impressive, to say the least. The vertical extent of the smoke wasn't as thick today was it was yesterday. Today the top was around 8,000 ft even though the surface visibility was less. Yesterday the smoke was thicker aloft and the sun wasn't even visible.
-
See how even a small temp bias can make all the difference when it comes to historical rankings? Looking at the past few months, BOS temp is running around 1 F too warm. So remove that bias, and BOS so far this summer is #5 warmest or higher. Non-trivial difference.

Really hoping this crap clears up tomorrow AM. Would be good to have one nice day before more crud on Saturday.

Four photos of the smoke today:
-
Radar estimating over 5” down around Manahawkin.
-
Aqi 224 now
-
Smoke got worse. AQI now in the 200's here. I can't imagine how much worse it is to the north and west. Woof.
-
Literally hours but most of it is offshore at this point.

We have plenty of redundancy up there for GOES satellites. Heck, there are even satellites up there launched over 15 years ago that are still operational and in use GOES-15, launched in 2010, was the GOES-W satellite until 2018. Then this satellite ownership was transferred to the DoD, and redesignated EWS-G2, and now sites at 62E. So worse case if GOES-19 failed, we could move other satellites to take it place.

Damn Canada. Why can’t you rake your forests! -
KIAD is at 90F at 9pm. Can we do it?
-
Already 63° and clear Chilly! -
Anyone else feeling like crap due to the smoke? I'm pretty sure its from that as I started feeling sluggish from the dim light yesterday, it was brighter today so half to a 3rd the brightness but its the extreme AQI values causing headache feeling, low motivation, low thoughts, hard to focus or think clearly, strange bodily temp sensations sometimes, pseudo-malaise, etc. Can't imagine what is happening to the vulnerable right now. With that said I saw more out this aft old and young alike and strangely many vehicles have their side windows down. Guess they want to fill their passages up with ash.

How long has that damn cell been sitting there in South Jersey?? Yikes
-
Another nice day in the west. Thunderstorms and low dew points.
-
I am beyond done with this summer.
-
We smoke. Brutal out there this evening. -
I couldn't smell any smoke when I walked home at 4:45 pm. Got a little whiff when I took the trash out 45 minutes ago though.
