bowtie` Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 When I woke up to rain drops hitting the roof at 8 a.m., I thought maybe things would be OK. Well it was nice but not OK. Only had 0.13" with the morning showers. I thought maybe I could gain some more with the afternoon stuff. But, even though I was woken up from a nap to the tornado sirens going off for sup just miles north of my house, I ended up getting nada, zero, zilch. So, 0.13" is the day total for imby and that is not going to help the drought conditions at all. And now resting any hopes on the backside.upper low instability showers is probably a fool's run also. Once you start droughting it is hard to stop droughting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to put some potted flowers in the garage so they wouldn't break. We haven't had a windy day like this in several weeks. We also noted the winds today. I sure not as strong as you got but it really hasn't been windy the past several weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality Advisory for PM2.5 which will remain in effect until noon Thursday, June 29th. This advisory affects the full state of Wisconsin. Smoke originating from Canadian wildfires will spread from north-to-south today (Monday, June 26th), impacting PM2.5 concentrations at the surface. We expect this situation to remain highly dynamic over the coming days and will adjust messaging as needed. For today (Monday, June 26th), we expect the heaviest smoke impacts across the eastern half of the state, where the Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to be within the UNHEALTHY category but could reach the VERY UNHEALTHY category. People with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion and consider avoiding all physical outdoor activities; everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion and consider avoiding prolonged or heavy exertion. At this time, we anticipate the eastern half of the state to see the heaviest surface smoke through this episode, with noon Tuesday through noon Wednesday currently appearing to be the period of heaviest impact. The AQI will likely range from the UNHEALTHY to VERY UNHEALTHY categories, but we cannot rule out the possibility of the AQI reaching the HAZARDOUS category.

Torchageddon Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The storms yesterday did not materialize and missed me by storm margin, I didn't hear any thunder til this morning at 8. there was some light rain less than 1mm overnight with no strikes detected! Got dark with a few rumbles and 2mm of rain so far. All the most intense cells keep missing me in every direction - watching the loop from the last 3 hours is funny; how it pivots from my east to directly north. I was cloudy last night for nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 One of the best puffy tower nights I can remember, after 5pm when the overcast left it was amazing. Mid-evening it was 360 degrees of it with even a thick band partial rainbow in a spot with no shower, I haven't looked at the pic yet closely; hope it turned out.

weatherbo Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Found this.... prob explains it. Here's why you smell plastic from a forest fire: "Wood fires emit a ton of volitile organic compounds (voc) Most of these VOCs are noticeable to our noses as the familiar "campfire" smell, but they breakdown quickly when exposed to UV radiation from sunlight. Other VOCs like benzene, formaldehyde and acrolein are released and they outlast the "campfire" VOCs. It's these chemical compounds that you're smelling as the smoke wafts around for a few days then settles to the ground and reaches your nose. Thus the plastic chemical smell." 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
