Time for this song.. sweet victory

Just another reason for grocery stores to jack up prices even more

I was doing some reading on that also. Hopefully firework bans go into effect if it keeps dry after this upcoming system. Great Lakes area may get a bad fire season. Lots of fuel to go around. But on the plus side we don’t have the logging practices like back in the day

Another Smokey bad air quality day in southeast Michigan. Curious to know the smoke levels under the cloud deck incoming. I feel bad for our folks in the NE

Good we can use it I’m tired of having to carry a fire extinguisher to do tree work

I noticed that too. Even working in the woodlots I’ve barely had to use bug spray when taking care of trees. Thick plume this morning. The company I work for has been in fire precaution mode starting Monday. Coniferous forest are really bad especially

Really thick plume moving through SE Michigan this morning

Reports of smoke smell in St Claire, Macomb, and Oakland counties. Fires in Quebec and one in particular in Ontario NW of Manitoulin island have expanded quite a bit. Curious to see the GOES satellite images tomorrow morning

Unless your like the Soviets draining the Aral Sea. Glad to live by water and also glad the border states and Canadian provinces agree to keep it within those regions. As much as I love Cali and the west it’s getting too populated

Great Lakes region will be the new Florida

Love the backyard!

When the pattern finally flips hopefully in the next few weeks. We would have to worry about flash flooding from the dry cracked ground

Pretty cool to see with polarized sunglasses too

Don’t worry we have a thin batch moving in. Already see some overhead

After the back door front came through it’s nice to have it in the 60s still. Last few days it was in the 80s at this time. Noticed the next batch of smoke coming in from the NE on the GOES satellite. Air quality looks rough along Lake Michigan looks like some indications of surface based smoke if anyone from over that way can confirm

Air quality starting to go downhill in Michigan from north to south. Looking like it’s slowly creeping into the lower half of the peninsula

I can see to my north and it looks really thick over there

I brought the Florida sunshine home to Michigan with me

Time to head to Lake Michigan to fill up 55gal drums if that’s the case

Hopefully this back door cool front will fire off some storms in SE Michigan tomorrow. Low chance but any will help

The constant dry and completely sunny conditions day after day here with the low humidity is concerning in the long run. Hoping for a pattern flip in a couple weeks. Was in another wood lot today in Monroe county and it was all dry and ground cracking in spots with sun. Some of the smaller brush species are drying up considerably. Few more weeks of this and we could have some problems. Hopefully DNR did a good job with their prescribed fires this year. Areas of forest is the north is another concern as well. A couple MCS or MCV to roll through would be beneficial but only time will tell. The more consistent heat waves coming in from Canada is another’s interesting note I’ll have to find the article I read up on it. Used to the humid air from the south

Great radar capture of the outflow/breezes colliding quite impressive to say the least

This keeps up moderate drought will rapidly makes its way into IN, OH, and MI. Was NW of Howell yesterday and was in a white pine/Norway spruce patch of woods and that whole area is dry like a tinderbox. I’m concerned with increasing wildfire danger in the next few weeks in the lower half of Michigan
