Yeah it’s snowpack or nothing for them as my understanding goes too. I was strictly referring to the fire situation.

73 yesterday. Mid 50s this morning. Excellent break from the heat. Can’t beat sleeping with the windows open.

At least the monsoon is showing up in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico

WRONG! I guess my information was bad, this puts us in 3rd place. The record is 14 days in 1936, followed by 11 days in 1948. There was a logjam at 3rd place but 2026 will now hold the spot.

0.17” of precipitation from the dying line of convection this morning

Today is the 10th consecutive 90 at MSP, setting a new record. (False) While the daily high temperatures weren’t noteworthy, the duration certainly was. I’d classify this as a historic heatwave around Minnesota.

Smoke is back. Sunrise at the airport dog park this morning.

Blessed to have traded AQI for Dews. I’ll take an AQI of 56 with a 70 DP over what we endured yesterday.

Smoke has on a relative sense moved out of my area. AQI below 200 and visibly has improved to 8-9mi after being 1-3mi most of the day. Historic smoke event without a doubt.

Not being forced. I have stop work authority and plan on exercising it today.

530 was the peak AQI in Minneapolis overnight. Eyes and throat burn working outside in this crap. Good times

AQI is 483 right now in Minneapolis.

Smoke hit like a freight train a few minutes ago. I don’t miss that pungent odor one bit

Multiple monitors from Duluth to Marquette in the 600-800+ range. Can’t remember ever seeing anything above 600. So far no smoke here, but the highest dewpoints of this heatwave so far.

94 today. Surprised how acclimated I’ve become, but I guess the same thing happens in winter.
