S/w might deliver far w but it looks like I'm driving home through a wildfire right now. I'm skeptical of svr. Marginal (a) limited in extent, significance, or stature close to the lower limit of qualification, acceptability, or function : barely exceeding the minimum requirements

I couldn't remember a day with AQI this high so I traveled to the CT.gov site, and looked up historical AQI data. I reviewed last 20 years, AQI above 100, using 8hr AQI highs. The data suggests an over performing, and highly anomalous event. Already nearing 160 AQI in Cornwall, where 112 AQI was predicted by DEEP. It has been very dry over past few weeks. The mix of that alongside dry conditions gives this day a post apocalyptic feel. don’t see a reading over 100 AQI at any site since 2016. According to the CT Gov site, the AQI max for today will vary between 126 AQI and 114 AQI. This would make it quite the day in terms of air pollution compared to historical data if this is accurate. 2003, JUNE 25TH, STRATFORD, 125 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, MADISON, 124 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, GREENWICH, 124 AQI 2006, JUNE 18TH, WESTPORT, 117 AQI 2003, JUNE 27TH, MADISON, 117 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, MADISON, 115 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, STRATFORD, 114 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, GROTON, 113 AQI 2003, JUNE 26TH, WESTPORT, 113 AQI 2003, JUNE 27TH, GROTON, 112 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, WESTPORT, 112 AQI 2006, JUNE 18TH, EAST HARTFORD, 111 AQI 2004, JUNE 9TH, MADISON, 111 AQI 2006, JUNE 18TH, MIDDLETOWN, 110 AQI 2005, JUNE 26TH, DANBURY, 110 AQI 2005, JUNE 26TH, MIDDLETOWN, 110 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, GREENWICH, 106 AQI 2005, JUNE 26TH, MIDDLETOWN, 106 AQI 2005, JUNE 26TH, STAFFORD, 106 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, DANBURY, 106 AQI 2008, JUNE 10TH, GREENWICH, 105 AQI 2005, MAY 25TH, MADISON, 105 AQI 2006, JUNE 18TH, STAFFORD, 105 AQI 2003, JUNE 24TH, GREENWICH, 105 AQI 2012, JUNE 29TH, GROTON, 104 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, GROTON, 104 AQI 2003, JUNE 25TH, DANBURY, 103 AQI 2007, JUNE 27TH, STRATFORD, 101 AQI 2010, SEPT 2ND, STRATFORD, 101 AQI 2011, JUNE 8TH, WESTPORT, 101 AQI 2018, JULY 22ND, MIDDLETOWN, 100 AQI

A ton of reports in the 40s this morning.

Thank God we don't live there.

I'll be at a wedding at Wychmere, sounds like dry undershirt and no swamp azz. Sign me up. I'll never forget almost croaking on the lawn outdoors in Cromwell at my wedding last July. Me, of all people, should have thought better of a wedding in mid-to-late July. I didn't really think of the pictures portion of things. In a full suit, during a heat wave, when we were already in a church for an hour. I don't know how anyone wears a suit to work every day for 30 years to work. There is nothing more uncomfortable. Maybe it's a big guy thing. I am thrilled Taylor Swift is almost over. We aren't even in the same geographic viewing area as Gillette Stadium, and we spent the last 7 days covering Taylor Swift. The Traffic, ticket prices, the transportation to the game. There is no denying how big of a superstar she is right now, all things considered. But I'm excited to have this weekend end.

1.70" final accumulation yesterday.

We might end up with 2"-3" of rain here if this continues.

0.92"

We like rain.

0.75" 61f Simsbury, CT.

Smoke these

Long time, no talk. Been busy. One word: pollen

Subsidence and Meh day time heating I think. Also not a lot of humidity

Looks awfully tame

66f in Weatogue. Bright sunshine. Breezy.

Definitely a mainly south of pike event on 17z hrrr. Clearing working it's way here.

61f on the car thermo. Cloudiness trying to break, humidity has increased, can feel.

Yeah, your elevation helping probably.

57f 12 minutes later. Love having an online station now. Will be at the in laws in Windsor for the rest of the day, but can still track temps here. Father-in-law just had hip replacement. Super active guy, so he's taken it really well. Going to hang out and watch the Final Four.

54f now. Looks like we break out 1:45-2:00pm.

Temp shot up to 52f here from 41f. Clouds starting to break.

Now that's impressive. We hope for some spillover.

Clearing appears to be ahead of modeling.

If this moved up about four hours, would have been a hell of an event.

Windsor, in general, also portions of Granby to Enfield, would appear to be great for that. You could run north south from Farmington up 10, then follow 202 through Simsbury, Avon all the way to Massachusetts. Gives you a very efficient way north and south.
