Definitely has that orange-ish tint now like a few years ago.

Yeah its not that hot at all. Warm but as far as comfort goes you could say its a better than average mid July afternoon. Quite breezy, tolerable humidity, with bright but very obscured sun. Most pleasant heat advisory I've felt.

no mention of the smoke in their AFD which is odd, just the same forecast discussion from this AM which is not going to verify in many spots

89 here right now. I figured mid 90s today, but obviously temps are several degrees lower due to the smoke.

Soon after I said that some blue sky is trying to break through and you feel the difference with that brighter sun at times.

It should still be  widespread low 90s, with the Park the usual wildcard

WPC take on rainfall next 7 days.

Most of this falls Saturday into early Sunday.

Tweaks I'm sure over the next few days but potential for some locally heavier totals over parts of the sub forum.

One more band of smoke to sink southeast across the area next few hours. That should be followed by somewhat clearer skies by late afternoon / evening from NW to SE.

At least the smoke is at higher altitudes today than close to the surface back in 2023.

It will be interesting to see if it can prevent the 100°+ that was forecast for tomorrow at the usual warm spots across the region.

While these HRRR smoke plume forecasts change from run to run, they do indicate the potential for more smoke near the surface by later Wednesday into Thursday.

Much cleaner look to the sky up this way now.  Mostly just some cirrus mixed with blue skies.

To me it is not nearly as bad as a few years ago. Everything looked very eerie even at midday a few years ago. Now it looks much lighter, higher up than then.

92° here today, probably lost 2-3 degrees from the smoke?
