  1. I go uptown to the Bx and the sky is blue and no perseivable smoke..but how if it's coming from the NE, or is it sweeping around from the south? Or is it because it more breezy here?

    I am in a high rise in CI and can smell this smoke continuously.     Visibility is about 6 miles and the Verrazano Bridge is about to white out from my vantage point high up.      

    Almost smells like something in the smoke can make you high after a while---no it is not Mar...........!      In the bark of the burning trees perhaps.

    Ha! Ha!   The EURO still can not make it to 80............and it has some rain Saturday.      GFS at 95.

    Took a walk outside and you def can smell it and see it from street level.

    Maybe I’m trying too hard, but I actually think you can smell a hint of smoke right now when you initially step outside. 

    I heard some mets say it's possible, since this time it can mix down to the surface and affect air quality.

    I noticed the haze in the sky around 1pm. Sitting in a Manhattan high rise I can make out it lowering now to near ground level and in between buildings like fog.

    Yeah I got an alert of a flood warning for the Bronx River. There's new buildings right along the river just south of the Zoo, I suspect that's what the E Tremont reference is for.

    The usual suspects already have closures, Bx River, Saw Mill Pkwy..

    Something I've noticed about the sea breeze is the temperature experiences a jump just before the sea breeze comes in.  It's almost like a temperature rise just before a cold front passes.  And after the sea breeze comes through the sky clears out-- also similar to a cold front passage.

     

    Yeah I fell 5 degrees the last hr to 88

    feels chilly out with the low humidity..lucky i had on a sweatshirt and a coat..

    Yeah I'm not a fan of the super low humidity. Its not as bad as yday though. Might be an asthma thing but when humidity gets down to 15% or 10% it feels like breathing knives. 

    There's some brush fires in NJ suspending train service between Penn Station and Trenton

    It's like the 5 that fell in March 98. Don't think there was ever close to that on the ground and it melted either a few hours

    Nah it was a legit 5"+ snowfall, on pavement and everything even in the 5 boros. It fells mostly overnight. It just didn't very long. The sun came out in the morning and destroyed that snow through out the day. Any piles remaining were gone with record heat in the 80s to end the month.

    Amazing, yet so expected.

    I forget who said yesterday they predicted 0.6 inches for the park but couldn’t predict whether they would measure it or not.

    Why do they even bother. Just have someone from one of the buildings surrounding the park eyeball a guesstimate from their apartment and just go with that. It certainly couldn’t be any less accurate. Maybe there would even be an over measured event now and then. 

    They miss snow sometimes, but there really was basically nothing this time. 0.1" might be generous tbh. Maybe a slushy coating on a few car tops, but snow sticks to cars even easier than grassy surfaces, I don't think of cars as a valid measurement. Even if you did it would just be a tenth or so.
