Honestly, I don't think we have another option.

I thought there was a backup like the old GOES but that was long ago probably not the same. Using WEST I can see our region but I want to zoom in even if its low-res.

Horrible AQI in NE MN. Similar to yesterday.

[WestMichigan]

AQI is 590 at the closest reporting spot I could find.  Just flat out nasty and not getting better any time soon.
