38 at SLK and 48.8 at WXW2.

probably just an appetizer for the hellworld that awaits next year after a super el nino winter ravages canada

Genny shut down 8:40 PM, 3rd longest run since it was installed in 2020, though 94 hours lower than Dec 2023. My wife had to switch lanes a couple times on Rt 2 coming home from Farmington, but no detours, just dodging tree tops. Any of those tall pines around Flying Pond get blown down? Couple years back, Maine Cabin Masters had to do a full rebuild on a camp near Flying after several big ones smashed it on Dec 18, 2023.

Some models have very little rain tomorrow. Doesn't look like an all day washout

Us in S.W V.A looking at that like

Conditions up here have improved quite a bit since yesterday. AQI in Mqt is 176 with rain showers moving in. Probably not out of the woods with the smoke tho.

38° at SLK

Low of 67 with thick smoke, which thankfully looks to clear out pretty quickly tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully we get some nice storms tomorrow and then Sunday looks beautiful. Harrisburg tied its max min record of 77 yesterday. National high of 121 at Stovepipe Wells, CA and low of 36 at Mt. Washington, NH. Carry on.

The pool we belong to closed for the day. Dammit. I was gonna swim and then inhale water to flush my lungs out. We are a bunch of wimps

Yeah. Main smoke plume is shifting southward today. Actually fairly clear up here in NWNJ right now with only some haze to the south and clear blue skies to the NW.

They just cancelled

Sure enough, Darwin on July 16th exceeded 1018 mb for only the 2nd day since daily records started in 1991, a sign of El Niño. It reached 1018.25, which trailed only the 1018.35 of 21 years ago! https://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/soi/

High yesterday was 96. Supposed to be upper 90's again today. I am so over this heat. I can't remember a time when we had so many upper 90's for highs. Took our pup out for a walk this morning and it is already miserable out there. At 9 am it is 83/80, feels like 95. So miserable and I need to mow my yard.

may fire one up after 12z

I remember a tire smell here in 2023. Revolting out. Hope everyone can stay in as much as life permits.

The smoke is bad up there.

Thread?

Ha, or the Kingdome in Seattle back in the day. Was in Seattle in the mid-90s when they had A-Rod, J Buhner, Ken Griffey Jr, and Edgar Martinez and would hit multiple home runs a game. Every time they'd set off fireworks, and the smoke would start settling down with each consecutive homer. By the late innings you were praying for good opponent relief pitching.

I told you you didn't want anything to do with what was north of you. Hanging out in the mid to high 400's overnight. Looking for relief later today.

After avoiding the worst yesterday, we are in the thick of the smoke here. AQI over 400. Smells nasty.

Seems even worse this morning. The sun is no longer visible and visibility is low. Crazy stuff.

Still a little bit of low level smoke, but skies are much clearer overall. It's great seeing the sun again! HRRR brings some smoke back in later tonight with the sea breeze. Looks pretty clear by Sunday
