Unfortunately, we are seeing air quality go the wrong way as more vehicles hit the road. If you have Twitter, I recommend following Ryan as he's the regional expert on Air Quality:

I'd just be happy with some real heat this year. None of this perpetual low 90s with a low Td. Something where we bake for a week in July and the big three terminals hit 100 for a couple of days. I love evenings after a day like that. The sun set and it's a big deep orange ball sinking into the cornfields.
While we are due for a derecho from a climo perspective (1 every 4 calendar years), the 2012 derecho should not be used as a benchmark for what every event will be like in these parts. The 2008 derecho is more typical for this area: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20080604
Don't mind me I'm just screaming into the void, but it sure would be nice to get some warmer weather so my grass can finally take. Lows in the mid 40s each morning isn't helping.
