    Been stuck in the smoke since yesterday late morning. Looks like we get a reprieve tomorrow though.

    On my last load it was even getting into the truck through the air conditioner. It stinks out there. Despite the smoke, I've maxed out (so far) at 89 degrees

    The past few years has been crazy with the smoke but this is the worst I’ve ever experienced. AQI in Libertyville was over 700 briefly. That’s absolutely insane. Not sure how to look up historical data on this but is this a relatively new thing within the past 5-10 years? I do not remember anything like this ever happening in the 90s - 2010s. I’m sure climate change is a contributor but what else is at play here? Why are the fires so much more intense than in decades past? Has Canada stopped doing some sort of prevention/mitigation that they used to do in the past? Have rainfall amounts dramatically decreased up there recently? Or am I simply misremembering and this has always been an issue? It feels like this only started happening maybe 5 years ago but it’s been every summer since.

    Oh boy. I run one of the water tankers, so that's a regular route to Fogelsville. I can go through Schnecksville if I need to, but our 8,000 gallon tankers are permitted, and can only use 309/100, as they weigh 100,000 lbs. I wonder if Penn Dot is going to adjust the permit route so they can keep running.

    If we can’t have severe weather maybe we can have severe smoke?

    Tuesday was 5 years since a fairly prolific tornado outbreak in north central-northeast Iowa. I managed to put myself in great position for the Waverly multivortex EF2 and then blow it, only getting 30 seconds or so of footage AFTER it produced its last visibly condensed vortex. Thus I don't count it as my "official" first tornado although I did glimpse an elephant's trunk vortex in my rear view mirror before pulling over, snapping a photo (during which it was still partially condensed) and then rolling video after which it stubbornly refused to condense again and I was apparently more interested in filming the more visually ominous inflow band.

    Wind just picked up here way in front of front. Probably that dying shower passing overhead.

    12Z GFS (among other models/ensembles as per SPC's latest 4-8) is spicy for Monday 7/20. However I think a lot is going to depend on if these fires can be tamped down somewhat in the meantime, as this would be another northwest flow setup.

    Any of you CNC folks that track stats have a count on Number of days 95 or over How is that going compared to an "avearge" number

    I'd stay away from lettuce, at least until the drought is over.

    Yea it’s horrible out now with smoke. Smells like a camp fire is right next to you.

    Interesting how the sea breeze at JFK seems to be keeping their vis way up vs other stations. Probably is clearing out that bottom 1500-2000ft

    Mets at my work said we hit upper 400s for AQI around midday, shattering the old record for Madison (set during Smokeageddon '23). However my phone hasn't budged from the 156 it displayed early this morning, even after I rebooted it.

    Lots of significant flood reports, including numerous impassable roads and water rescues have been coming in from the Edwards Plateau region (not far west of SAT), since Tuesday. Especially in Uvalde county where lots of rivers/creeks are now at major flood stage and overflowing their banks. Del Rio (DFX) radar storm totals are now over 2 feet in Uvalde county. This stationary Low setup in the region is similar to the one that occurred around this same time last year in 2025 (except that it's not a tropical Low entity that was the remnants of TS Barry last year which always have much deeper moisture).

    They would blame Canada
  27. BBasile
    Basically identical to yesterday. Another 79F dew. Can smell the smoke today, though.
