Smoke starting to filter in here in Suffolk as well. Temp has “dipped” down to 90.

Nice to see bluebird skies again. Smoke just to my south but blue to the north. The sun is back! Other than a few Cu the skies are clear! Unlike the smoke of a couple of years ago this smoke came on quick yesterday.

Light smokey haze with a distinct smoke smell in jersey city

One can smell the smoke in the Bronx, as well, even as it's not as thick as that in Rhinebeck.

Not only Canada, the Boundary Waters area of northern MN has lightning-induced fires and they've closed the park for only the third time on record.

90 here 7 behind the hottest day Jul 1-4th so thinking we top out in the 97-99 range 100 south of the area.

Those are great books especially the Early American series.

This isn’t the smoke I prefer to bathe myself in.

Enough that you can blow a flat surface is see the ash blow away, and its visible falling too.

Let the hair hang down out of the confines of the pony-o ..and wave it around and wash the hair in the smoke

WPC increased rainfall total

It is so thick here in Brattleboro that I can't even see the sun Sent from my SM-S176V using Tapatalk

After researching this carefully, the following CFSv2 forecast map that JB posted for 2027 actually may not be the coldest population weighted CFSv2 JFM forecast overall for the U.S. on the site predicted in summer, which goes back to the progs for JFM of 2012: Regarding the following forecast, which was made in the summer of ‘13 for JFM of 2014, the U.S. overall may be colder than the above map on a population as opposed to geographically weighted basis because the most heavily populated NE to upper Midwest is significantly colder despite the warmer S: JB was specifically referring to pop. weighted this far out as he said: “ Population Weighted, CFSV2 with Coldest JFM in hits archive I went back thru all CFSV2 forecasts since 2012 on its site. This is the coldest JFM it has ever shown from this far out“ Now, regarding a JFM prog made at anytime of year, which JB wasn’t talking about, this one made in early Jan for 2013 appears to be the coldest of any I found on either a pop or geo wted basis: Interestingly, the aforementioned recent forecast for JFM 2027 is not that much colder than the following one also made in summer for JFM 2016 (which similarly followed a super Nino peak) as it has a fairly similar pattern (just not as cold): The above summer of ‘16 prog for JFM ‘17 ended up failing miserably for most of the country as this is what actually happened: This miserable failure, itself, doesn’t exactly bode well for those like me hoping the cold on the JB posted CFS for JFM ‘27 will verify well.

The sun is now completely obscured in the valley. I can taste the smoke in the air and the motion detector nightlight outside the brewery flicked on because it’s so dark right now. Killing a heat wave with smoke was not on my bingo card.

Always stackin'

How much do you have? Just a fine coating? EDIT: Take measurements if you can and report in to the MQT office. I'm sure they would love to know how much. They might be getting it too.

Might hit yesterday’s high of 85 again today. wretched weather. Give me hot 90s but clear air.

Yea. It’s felt less oppressive than recent summers for sure. Ive seen more “blue” 850 temps on guidance than usual too lol.

Stein on it

Its coming with NW winds which we take in mid July.

Less humid so far than recent summers, but still above avg.

90 here.

There is nothing redeeming about the smoke. It is more annoying than a dry slot in winter.

I’m including spring which was very cocky and even brutally cold/raw at times.

Canada needs to get it together
