Does altitude play a role in smokiness? Specifically, are higher altitudes at a higher risk?

Not in this case smoke at the surface is pretty much maxed out.

Now this is the classic swampy mid Atlantic summer of old.

Getting dark early like a fall day.

Can start to smell the smoke up here. Vis dropping sky getting orange tint.

lol - PHL is 95F with "Smoke" - basically hell, right?

Scrolling around trying to find the worst ob.  Philly's 95 with 6 mile viz is a candidate.  Grand Rapids, MI with an 88 and 3/4 mile viz is another.  HGR is entering the game with 91 and 4 miles.

Im inbound on a flight from San Diego where I've been since Sunday. Terrible life choice to return to this weather.

The smokiness seems to have ramped up in the last hour or so. Can barely see the Sugarloaf range and the Catoctin’s look “foggy”.

Northwesterly flows haven’t done this area many favors over the years. Need to get a prolonged flow out of the gulf to fix this mess.

It’s noticeably worse here. 178 up in York. Air now has red boundary right at the md pa line
