87storms Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 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”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air now has red boundary right at the md pa line I reluctantly went biking earlier for the first time in 3 weeks and actually didn’t find it too bad. But I just stepped outside and can absolutely smell it. It’s like a chlorine/smoke cross. This continent needs rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was fine particulate in a lot of surfaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
