dailylurker Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Just got done staining a large deck with oil base stain. My employee looked at me while wiping oil on his face while attempting to wipe away the sweat and said, this is hell on earth. How do you do it everyday. I said "because I like it". He told me I was sick in the head. It's 98, humid and smoky. What's not to like. Better then being in an office building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSN+ Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Have a feeling air going to get nasty around here tonight into tomorrow. Areas in PA going into very unhealthy to hazardous air quality which they only had it getting to code red. Pittsburgh already into very unhealthy levels.

I'm super ready! It's great watching these heat domes turing the lakes into batch water. Man.. those first cold shots in late November are going to produce epic rates. As a rate chaser I approve.

MN Transplant Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Good news is that the HRRR is being less aggressive on the smoke over the past several runs. Bad news is that it is undershooting the visibility reduction in the Great Lakes right now. Much of WI and MI have 1 mile or less visibility.

And air qualities as worse than forecasted in parts of central Pa nw Pa right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been using surface viz as a proxy for how it will seem at the ground level, but yeah, it is going to be smoky in the column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shunts the 200+ near surface smoke off to our east (Capeland) so we get values around 100. Talked to the team reps for my swim team and fought to get practices reduced from 1 hour to 45 minutes for age groups tomorrow. My atmosphere course last fall really emphasized how pm is not something you want to play around with when it comes to nearly any exposure. It's the day before divisionals so we're tapering anyways.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Truly awful out, lifting weights in my un air conditioned garage and just soaked head to toe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago One of the downsides of the smoke is that it has reduced the surface heating and therefore boundary layer depth. The high dews are not being mixed out as they would on a day without smoke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
