Satellite is messed up this morning, it’s not updating for some reason. 

It’s the last picture before things went down. It was prior to my photo. It is uncertain when service will be restored.

It must be a pretty serious issue given the length of the outage and no estimate for restoration.

Have a cool breeze in Kearny right now.  Making it feel tolerable minus the smell of smoke.

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

This projection offers a decent view as well

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.

Surprised the AQI isn't higher with all this smoke.

Mine is 96 or 126 depending on which site I use

[WestBabylonWeather]

The smell was worse yesterday which is strange. Unless I’m just used to it now. 

[Picard]

Most of it is probably aloft.

Seems like it's mostly in the unhealthy for sensitive groups category in our area. Nothing compared to what happened a few years ago.
