Obviously smoky in the upper levels today. I guess to many it looks like a veil of cirrus. The sun should have that tell-tale red glow again towards sunset.

 

Yep. DTX just released an update about this:

.UPDATE...

Mid/upper level trajectories have taken the smoke plume from nrn
California and the Pacific Northwest into the Upper Midwest and Great
Lakes region. Satellite representation and visual observation suggest
the high altitude smoke overhead is quite opaque. So even though some
of the morning strato cu has been and will continue to dissipate,
afternoon sun is going to be very filtered through the upper level
smoke. This seems to suggest more or less filtered sunshine today as
opposed to outright sunny skies. So an update will be issued to
increase sky cover today. Otherwise, the going forecast looks
reasonable.

Here she goes

Trends may be improving for NOLA, but getting worse for areas farther east.  Mobile/Mobile Bay is of growing concern.

That could be a double-edged sword. As needed as that rain was, now that the heat and growing season are nearly over, drying out in the ground takes longer. There's going to be plenty more precip this fall, so now flooding may be the next concern down the road.

1st official low in the 40s for Detroit since June 14th. Low was only 49 at DTW and 48 at DET, but temperatures hung around 49-50 for about 6 or 7 hours. Had all the windows closed and it was still about 65 in the house this morning. Fall is here. Got down to 40 at White Lake and 37 at bad axe. 

 

 Incredible to think, but on this date in 1939 Detroit hit 100゚. Easily the latest 100 on record, it was a 3 day heatwave that was unprecedented for the time of year.

Third official low in the 40's at YYZ. For most of the burbs it’s our 5th. YYZ got down to 41F last night. It'll likely get down to the mid 30's later this week. The source of this weekend’s cold is straight from the Arctic.

I'm sure your excited about the onset of Fall knowing Winter isn't too far away. :lol:

Tomorrow looks like 80+ at ORD for the first time since the 7th.  It got me thinking how there are probably only a handful of 80+ days left... at best.  Summer is slipping away, as it always does.

So I ran the stats on this of course.  Wouldn't you know, the average number of 80+ days in Chicago from 9/16 onward is pretty much exactly 5 days.

There's a shot that some of the smoke may make it down to the surface tomorrow in portions of the region, immediately following the frontal passage.

HRRR models the ground level smoke I think, but I don't remember where to find that.  Do you have the link?
