May 2015 was the most rain I've seen in my life in Austin. I guess the closest match would be August 2010 up here but I think May 2015 was worse. The heaviest rain I've ever seen was Oct 2015 when the remnants of Patricia came through. It was literally like watching a firehose outside.

SnowGoose69 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Hard to know with satellite down but looking at obs back to the Great Lakes I'd say using pre 1960s forecasting that the worst smoke will go S and W of here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picard Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Air Quality Indexes are off the charts in the upper mid west. Higher than 2023, The extreme readings are knocking on the door of Buffalo. Hopefully it doesn't reach here and without that satellight working, we won't know for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWCCraig Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Since GOES-EAST is down, you could use GOES-WEST, though it's not ideal since we're near the edge of the disc image, so images appear blurry but its better than nothing. The colored image distinguishes between cloud types. Smoke is green, blue and red are clouds 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colored image distinguishes between cloud types. Smoke is green, blue and red are clouds Been using it. Better than nothing but not great. Sky is hazy here. Faint smoke smell to the air but nothing horrendous. Air quality is poor but still no smoke visible at the surface in my area. Out my way this still trails 2023 by a big margin. Still nasty though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Pretty low VIS in CNY now up to the N shore of Lake Ontario then seems better north of that once in Canada. That should make its way here though it may raise a tad once it does but could see 3-4SM again this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like 1960s pre satellite imagery - there are a mix of clouds and smoke and the clouds seem to be thinning as its getting brighter with pokes of a smoky sin.

It was prior to my photo. It is uncertain when service will be restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picard Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 It must be a pretty serious issue given the length of the outage and no estimate for restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 on the bright side, its a great day to work outside (assuming you don't care what happens to your lungs). Apparently smoke blocks UV a lot better than clouds. UV index is near zilch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
