Central PA Summer 2026 Discussion/Obs Thread

It’s quite orange out -
The first time I remember smoke hitting the DC area was March 31, 1999. The fire was in the Shenandoah Valley. The date stuck in my mind because Activision's *Civilization: Call to Power* released on that date. I made a special trip to Gamestop to pick it up, and wondered about the weird smell in the air and the funny-colored sky.

2026-2027 Super El Nino

The large kelvin wave around 140W is probably the one to do most of the heavy lifting in a few weeks. Would expect subsurface anoms to increase past +10C here soon. Getting a little more tricky to find them when they get generated since the thermocline is pretty depressed already, but at least this one is still pretty visible. -
on the bright side, its a great day to work outside (assuming you don't care what happens to your lungs). Apparently smoke blocks UV a lot better than clouds. UV index is near zilch.

nest has popcorn firing to my west along the differential heating boundary between smoke and clear air

Have a cool breeze in Kearny right now. Making it feel tolerable minus the smell of smoke.

It must be a pretty serious issue given the length of the outage and no estimate for restoration.
