Really hoping this crap clears up tomorrow AM. Would be good to have one nice day before more crud on Saturday.

The top of the TS at it's peak was around 60,000 ft earlier this evening.   Impressive, to say the least.  

The vertical extent of the smoke wasn't as thick today was it was yesterday.   Today the top was around 8,000 ft even though the surface visibility was less.  Yesterday the smoke was thicker aloft and the sun wasn't even visible.

Nearing 300 AQI in some spots in the city. Con Ed cut voltage to my building. Hopefully not related.

Do I remember correctly they were over 500 in 2023????  I honestly forget but it was bad back then.  Couldn’t stay outside for any more than a few minutes.

Yeah it got up close to 500 in 2023 which obviously is hazardous. So while this is bad, it doesn't compare to 2023. I was outside doing work in the garden earlier and it didn't bother me. I have bad allergies to things like tree pollen in the spring, but luckily this smoke doesn't seem to bother my eyes.
