Clear sky is trying to punch into VT from the west, but it’s a race from the north to see if it gets pinched off.

75.8°

It was interesting to see the sky go blue suddenly, temp skyrocketed, but now back in the smoke and temp down again.

Looks like this smoke has origins in Moosup CT. Has a slight skunk smell to it.

Yup…had brief milky blue mixing in and warmed up to 82°. Now dark and yellow again and dropping.

Whenever I come back inside I have a strange craving for chips.

I went outside and my hands felt like two balloons.

It's those tick bites.  Clearly you have Sublyme disease. 

I'll see myself out....

They've got no way to stop that fire storm up there, either.

this may be a smoke problem going forward ... clearly wasn't assessed in/for today - not sure how it's done tomorrow.  Altho- we may end up with more a NW component which could shunt it maybe NYC ish?

12z Euro/GFS both pushing the bounds of credibility with that (apparently) unconstrained trough depth around the 21s/22nd ...

The indexes have an unusually amplified +PNA numerically signaled in that time range, so some sort of anomaly is okay but ... egads!  doesn't have to -3.5 SD, either.  I guess in order to balance the hemisphere for all that French rage the models have to hang their asses over somewhere to make the world fair.. lol

The thick smoke has moved out but wow, the thickest smoke layer I have ever seen.  Below is the Nest Cam time lapse. It started around 9am.  At that time we had the cirrus overhead with the MCS but skies were basically clear after that.  The temperature has jumped  7F in the past hour.  82/69

I'm not sure why the camera was changing the hue of the sky.  Maybe to adjust for the darkness?

The smoke has moved here.  Sun tried and failed to work about noon, and by 1:30 we had that same dingy yellow/brown that dendrite posted.  The only thicker smoke I can recall was when I was working at a forest fire.
No 90s here; possibly not even 80s.
