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.

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.
-
Weird because the AirNow.gov website says the AQI is 152 here right now. Who knows which to believe.
-
Seems like it's mostly in the unhealthy for sensitive groups category in our area. Nothing compared to what happened a few years ago.
-
Surprised the AQI isn't higher with all this smoke.

Missing me just a few miles to the north. I was watching the lightning in the north sky. Just some sprinkles here.

We'll have to see if the activity in Warren County hits our area in a little while. Today wasn't supposed to be a big t-storm day, but quite a bit of activity.
-
98 here right now.
-
92 here right now.
-
89 here right now. I figured mid 90s today, but obviously temps are several degrees lower due to the smoke.
-
Looking like the rain could be here during the morning Saturday.

Have a great time!

I'm in Piscataway but near the border of South Plainfield. Those heaviest red radar echoes went right over me. It was a quick half inch.
-
It produced a quick half inch of rain here. Moving slowly as you said, but it's a very skinny line so it doesn't last too long. It was absolutely torrential rain for a little while though. Happy to get the half inch today after the 2 inches the other day. It'll be good to go into the heat wave with high soil moisture.

Coming down in buckets.
