The smoke is really thicc aloft now. We have CAA undercutting it…pretty gusty NW flow. 17G30mph at 1p1.

Just went outside to grill hot dogs for lunch and wow the smell is insane. Combination of smoke and ass. 

Isn't that how hot dogs usually smell?

It’s getting converged and stretched between the ridge and trough and training our way. You absolutely love to see it.

Insane AQI back over the Great Lakes. Can't imaging what values tomorrow will be down this way.

yeah. it's consistent with light to moderate overcast, a rainy day is even less. 

curious what folks with solar sensors on their weather stations are getting for readings

right now my station solar radiation is ~100 watts/m2 (whatever that means), with a UV index <1

lol. Literally in the AFD. Can’t make this stuff up 

Not much chance for showers through Thursday night. Any that do

in much rainfall.
