Maybe the haze in the 90's was smoke? I'm definitely not saying it's some conspiracy. I'd like to know why now and never before. Or was i just not noticing it years ago? Cloudy with thick smoke and 56 When I was a teenager in Central PA in the early 00s there was a a summer where we had really bad Canadian wildfire smoke - I think it was 2002. Here's an old paywalled news story about it: https://www.morningjournal.com/2002/07/08/smoke-from-canada-forest-fires-blankets-northeastern-states/ I agree with you and @WxUSAF that it seems to be more frequent post 2020. There is an interesting branch of climate research that deals with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrocene 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, lol Smoke plume thickest at this time in our area, but moving out in WV., so maybe some improvement later in the day, certainly once the winds shift to SW tomorrow. week. close up here https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G19§or=ne&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frd Posted Tuesday at 06:58 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:58 PM Definitely not as comfortable today with the higher temps watering the garden. As soon as I got home I could smell smoke in the air from above. Also many insects swarming around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloudy with thick smoke and 56 Just a couple years ago we had this (in SoMD at least). It was a lot worse and even mid day the sky was reddish and you could really smell the smoke. I don't remember if the smoke was from Canada or somewhere in the US though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the 3km NAM, although at hour 60(end of its run) it does suggest a glancing blow in the hours just beyond. All other guidance keeps it pretty far to the south.

WxUSAF Posted yesterday at 05:43 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:43 PM I think there is enough evidence that BWI’s temps have been off since the tarmac was expanded a few years ago not note that it’s more of a problem now than DCA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago I hate working in the heat. Today was rough because I'm not use to it yet. It felt kinda good though. I chose to work outside so it is what it is. I just schedule shorter days and take more breaks. Shameless Plug: Softwashing commercial and residential buildings. Wood deck restoration . Paver restoration Stucco restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
