StormfanaticInd Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I've never seen so much haze/smoke. I think it actually held the temperature down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Smoke/Haze has been pretty intense here on the ground level the last few days. Can even smell it at times. The silver lining of the heat dome will be pushing it out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Now yesterday was the 10th anniversary of the hottest temp I've experienced at home at 37ºC with an extreme humidex to match, a very great day. The ridge was immense and historic, over 600 dm in a spot or two. Weds wasn't that warm but at least it was sunny for the entire day for once, felt nice.

A-L-E-K Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 what kind of impact has the smoke been having on high temps, shaving off just a lil or more than a few degrees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 what kind of impact has the smoke been having on high temps, shaving off just a lil or more than a few degrees?It definitely took a few degrees off of the high temp a few days ago (20th).It’ll likely do the same in the coming days that feature the same thickness. It also doesn’t help that the smoke is dispersed throughout the atmosphere over a large part of the region, instead of just at one layer aloft.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 As expected storms blew up just east and southeast this afternoon. At least it was nice to see cu billowing upward on it's way to give relief to areas downwind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Deja Vu, I'm under a tornado warning as those cells coming onshore from Lake Huron are rotating and EC this time was proactive by issuing the warning before the cell made land. This is basically exactly Sat Jun 26 just with more heavy rain beforehand. This time its moving slower at 35 km/h so maybe if I drop south I could intercept it if it holds together.
