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.

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.

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowlover11 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Really smokey crossing the TZ Bridge. Cleared up a bit driving south into Yonkers. Once passed Yonkers it’s smokey again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picard Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago The reported AQI in Duluth, MN right now is 1129! I've seen a few others today just over 1000 in the upper mid west. We don't really track AQI regularly, but that is nuts. That cell down around LBI was nuts. I didn't smell the smoke as much sitting outside tonight, as I did earlier.

winterwx21 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago 3 hours ago, Santa Claus said: just amazing that no matter the weather at least half of the local pickleball courts have people on them. the air is cancer what are you people doing You would hope that people with underlying health conditions like asthma or COPD would know to not exercise outside in these conditions. I assume it's mainly healthy people outside on the courts in these conditions. As many doctors have pointed out, conditions like today are manageable for most healthy people. They were able to play a baseball game in Philly this evening. People with underlying conditions can suffer an acute serious problem in conditions like today, but for people that are healthy it would take prolonged exposure (like weeks or months) to cause serious problems. Just a day or two in a reasonable AQI (like 150 to 200 like we had most of today) isn't going to cause a problem beyond minor issues like eye burning or nose irritation.
