depends on the hot dog

Insane AQI back over the Great Lakes. Can't imaging what values tomorrow will be down this way.

need charmin today

Just went outside to grill hot dogs for lunch and wow the smell is insane. Combination of smoke and ass.

wonder if any spots come close to dense smoke advisory tomorrow

Was it 2002 when we had the wild smoke from the fires around Montreal(?). That was nuts

So dark I may have to put a light on. Its super spooky out...makes me want to go out, carve a pumpkin and sit it on my desk

I do recall something

yeah and those values are absolutely nuts. Off the scale that pivotal has lol

If I remember correctly too, some of the research on wildfires and influences on severe weather events is also based on the source of the wildfires (i.e. what is burning). Different burn sources are going to release different particulates into the air. And I think there is a big difference between what is burnt/released from Canadian fires versus what is burned and released within the western U.S.

Be curious to see where we end up with for temperatures today. I don't think statistical guidance (MOS/NBM) factor in smoke so you almost have to guess how much to take off them for temps. Almost may have to subtract something like 7-12F

Really wondered what would have happened if we didn't have the influences of the smoke yesterday.

Tomorrow looks like it will be very bad for smoke...even worse than today

Took a snap around 5:45 before the smoke starting moving in

13 hail reports >= 1.25" last night. That's pretty damn impressive for the region
