Wanted to capture a super red sunset, but the smoke is so thick the sun was completely blocked.

A friend of mine at the Phil's game sent me this photo.  Completely healthy atmosphere.  lol

A lot less smoky out there today. I can even see some blue in the sky. Looking forward to this crap being gone by tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah I don’t think it’ll be as bad as forecast today

Smoke will continue to be a problem through tonight. We should be several degrees cooler than yesterday with what looks like to me no temps near 90 degrees for at least the next couple of weeks. Tomorrow will be warm and humid with showers and thunderstorms across the area. We turn much cooler by Sunday with highs in the upper 70's to near 80. Nighttime lows by Monday morning will be in the 50's across many of our lower valley locations. Temperatures through the next week look to remain below normal through what is on average our hottest week of the year.

5% tor probs tomorrow.... actually a pretty interesting severe set up if we can avoid crapvection.

Unfortunately, it's still quite smokey here. Can still smell it, too.  As someone who is an outdoor runner and cyclist, and absolutely despises treadmills, this shit sucks.  Looking forward to it's exit as well.

Enhanced for tomorrow.

AQI is much lower than 2023 but the news said this was the first code purple since 2008, confusing. Even still, AQI of 265 imby is grounds for staying inside all day
