  1. Past hour
  2. I was disappointed that Wills pet didn’t make a cameo appearance in my photo. As always …..
  3. It's coming. 6mi vis at IAD, 7mi at DCA.
  4. This was a textbook frontloaded warm/backloaded cold winter. If we continued this into spring, I believe April 1983 was the coldest April on record CONUS. That one had a major freeze/snow event in the Eastern half of the country (impacting the midwest on the 13th-16th, and North Carolina northward on the 19th-22nd).
  5. You would hope that people with underlying health conditions like asthma or COPD would know to not exercise outside in these conditions. I assume it's mainly healthy people outside on the courts in these conditions. As many doctors have pointed out, conditions like today are manageable for most healthy people. They were able to play a baseball game in Philly this evening. People with underlying conditions can suffer an acute serious problem in conditions like today, but for people that are healthy it would take prolonged exposure (like weeks or months) to cause serious problems. Just a day or two in a reasonable AQI (like 150 to 200 like we had most of today) isn't going to cause a problem beyond minor issues like eye burning or nose irritation.
  6. The reported AQI in Duluth, MN right now is 1129! I've seen a few others today just over 1000 in the upper mid west. We don't really track AQI regularly, but that is nuts. That cell down around LBI was nuts. I didn't smell the smoke as much sitting outside tonight, as I did earlier.
  7. Both Spain and Argentina are the most obnoxious Spanish speaking countries on the planet - but they are both pretty awesome places to visit. It's tough. BA is an incredible, incredible city. Patagonia, Mendoza, the wine, the Andes mountains. But in Spain you have Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla, just tons of beautiful cities. The food in both places is so so good. Both populations think they are they are God's gift to the world. It's a tough call.
  8. "These stupid board settings won't let posters upload full pictures and the admins are too cheap to fix it!" Several posters proceed to upload a multitude of full-sized pictures. Too perfect.

  10. Really smokey crossing the TZ Bridge. Cleared up a bit driving south into Yonkers. Once passed Yonkers it’s smokey again.
  11. As Saturday evening looks quite stormy. Severe stuff possible.
  12. July has been the wettest month of the year for the eastern 1/2 of country since 2017.
  13. Argentina has gotten way too many beneficiaL calls. Let’s go Spain
  14. We finally got some clouds today. A tiny cluster of clouds popped, along with some showers, right over the Cedar Rapids area, and it kept bubbling for a couple hours. I only got 0.13", but the clouds were nice and it helped keep the temp down a bit.
  15. 10pm DCA - 93/71 (lol) 10mi viz IAD - 89/74 10mi BWI - 87/66 4mi PHL - 87/61 1mi (yikes) NYC - 81/57 2.5mi
  16. It’s nearly pointless to post this given the compression, but… A view from ORD just before sunset this evening. Edit: Amazingly, the compression isn’t horrid.
  17. Yeah it got up close to 500 in 2023 which obviously is hazardous. So while this is bad, it doesn't compare to 2023. I was outside doing work in the garden earlier and it didn't bother me. I have bad allergies to things like tree pollen in the spring, but luckily this smoke doesn't seem to bother my eyes.
  18. Found this one i grabbed. Pics were way worse too, but still bad today
  19. rapid AQ deterioration going on out here as the visibility rapidly erodes:
  20. Found my screenshots from 2023, was over 400 then
  21. Chicago was over 600 earlier.
  22. Today
  23. 0.31" a lot if thunder and lightning
  24. Do I remember correctly they were over 500 in 2023???? I honestly forget but it was bad back then. Couldn’t stay outside for any more than a few minutes.
  25. Nearing 300 AQI in some spots in the city. Con Ed cut voltage to my building. Hopefully not related.
