Decent rain made it here-consolidated a little. It’ll be over in 2 min but nice to see enough for there to be a puddle at least and rinse off my car.
-
Maybe a shot with this heavy rain coming toward Jones Beach but most likely skunked again as it hits the places east of me that have been getting hit. Had a 20 second shower with thunder before.
-
Whatever can make this more than a 1 minute ground dampener I’m all for.
-
Half decent rain coming down. Maybe we can luck out to 0.4” or so.
-
Over the top heat is the norm the last few summers. Bermuda High keeps getting displaced 300+ miles north so we get S or SE onshore wind vs SW. Meanwhile Quebec roasts where the fires are starting up.
-
Smoke/air quality seem to be worse on the south shore. Sea breeze might be bringing it back north. HRRR predicted that.
-
The ULL over the Maritimes is shifting enough to start driving the smoke further west and shifting enough to not let it funnel like it’s been doing straight from the source-disperse it more. But what helps us probably hurts for the OH Valley, Great Lakes etc. Also their fire season is just beginning. We need a good westerly flow pattern to keep it away, not this cutoff/maritime garbage pattern that might bring it right back. Whatever the actual AQI here, yesterday was horrendous. I have no breathing problem but I was coughing and eyes stinging after not even 30 seconds in it.
-
Hideous. I felt my eyes stinging after 20-30 seconds in this stuff and scratchy throat. The winds this afternoon didn't help. And it's still high 200s-300s around here. Really hope tomorrow's better.
-
Freeport schools closed tomorrow too.
-
Smoke got into the school buildings and people felt ill. Some buildings also have no/little air conditioning. And even though it might be better tomorrow, it’s a better safe than sorry situation.
-
Long Beach schools closed tomorrow. Probably more to come.
-
Feels like a fall day with how it keeps out the insolation. You can see where it starts to get better just by where the cumulus starts to bubble again to the north.
-
Choking thick here. Can’t make out where the sun is.
-
Not saying very much. Also can’t even make out where the sun is anymore. Still choking thick here.

From PurpleAir

Not sure how accurate this but wow. From PurpleAir. The city looks to be 400+.
-
Down to 1mi visibility at Farmingdale and 1.5mi at JFK. 0.75mi at Central Park and 1mi at Islip.
-
Getting even darker here, you can barely make out the sun.
-
You can tell that improvement is inching its way south through the Hudson Valley and CT on the visible sat-that’s where you see clouds bubbling up away from the smoke. But we’re socked (choked) in for a while around the city.
-
Sun looks like a reddish orb in the sky. Crazy how dense this is. Burns your eyes too.
-
Surreal in this, never saw this before in my life.
-
Getting the distinct orangey look to the sky and campfire smell again.
-
Syracuse sensor up to 411. Yikes.
-
Totally gross outside-thick smoke smell.
-
Yikes, and about to get hit again.
