Torchageddon Posted yesterday at 01:09 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:09 PM Feels like we just woke up in a bowl of urine this morn. When I woke at dawn and saw pure darkness I knew this was going to be bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted yesterday at 01:35 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:35 PM Smoke is nasty here too. Had to get up very early, and shut the windows. What a rude awakening. Temps in the 70's today tho. Update: Rain just moved in. Hopefully that help some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted yesterday at 04:03 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:03 PM My weather station showed just 1200 lux of brightness at 10:30 a.m.; that is insanity! For this part of July and time should be at least 60,000 maybe closer to 80K right now. Not even in 2023 did this degree of dimness befall us. Perfect day to be downstairs or in a room with maximum light brightness. Me and others are feeling sluggish as low light at the start of a day is deleterious to energy and mind. I'm seeing smoke-enhanced cloud streams on sat over me adding to the darkness, and even blips and clutter on radar in a peculiar way. Smoke warning mentions temps will be lower than forecast, its dramatically lower here I'm only at 23C and its noon. Originally going to be 30C; we're not getting there unless smoke thins this eve and we get a rally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple monitors from Duluth to Marquette in the 600-800+ range. Can’t remember ever seeing anything above 600. So far no smoke here, but the highest dewpoints of this heatwave so far.

weatherbo Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago My sister was flying in today from Florida to MQT and her connecting flight from Chicago to MQT has been cancelled due to visibility and ash.

Torchageddon Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago My RH freakishly stayed around 85% most of the aft til 5:30 pm when it finally began to drop. Yesterday mid-aft it was 45%. The temp very slowly creeped up only to 24C - not surprisingly. Off by 5-6C. Any item with fabric felt damp still as if it never aired out from the morning dew. Looking at broad radar, I suspect there is a very long teleconnection happening all the way from Dauphin MB to Syracuse NY!!! Its a thick weak band that fragments at times. Never seen anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outflow Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Alot of outdoor related business closing tomorrow due to air quality here on the east side of mi. Also a very light fine ash sprinkled on my truck windshield when I left work at 330 here in the thumb of mi. Never would have had that on the weather of 2026 bingo card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
