It is absolutely the smoke from Canadian wildfires. The northeast is getting the smoke bad. Here's some sat photos, the fires go way up into the north, but the worst is in the Ontario province.
Wound up with .19". Some possible rotation around Cary Crossroads. Wind was decent too. mPING reported hail reported in the area. Down to 77/81.
edit: this time of day should produce some nice rainbows.
Comfortable morning. 68 for a low at 1:13am. Opened the windows, then that sun came out and it got intense. 87 at 3:15pm. Hoping the TC in the Gulf will help at the end of the week, but "signs point to no."
