The smoke is back here. Just gross.

Agree. Messes up my cloud and sunset images. And is unhealthy for my lungs.

Looks like a very intense plume of smoke possible from Cleveland to Buffalo Wednesday morning. Total vertically integrated smoke concentrations in excess of 1500 mg per square meter. Some weird quirk in the wind patterns sends all of the smoke from the eastern Quebec fires west tomorrow during peak heating (diurnal peak of fire activity) where it mixes with the smoke from the fires in the west end of the province, and forms a dense pall.

still haven't needed the ac and won't for the foreseeable future so that's nice

[OrdIowPitMsp]

Off to a hot start of summer in Minneapolis. 3rd most 90s through June 5th

[Scorpion]

Some much needed rain thankfully coming our way. Hopefully it can wash out the smoke.

[A-L-E-K]

we r really chasing scraps 

[luckyweather]

Northern IL crop situation about to transition from annoying but periodic drought to a more severe, generational type situation if we don’t get rain in the next 10-14 days or so.

[Jonger]

Let's see if next Monday's system holds together, would really dent the drought situation.

And placed on the chart 4 of the last 6 years.  Perfect.  Palm tree weather is getting closer.

[Brian D]

Prelim data in for May. Near avg on the + side. Spring is the same. 5/10 yr trend charts shown respectively.

And it's been in the 60's along the shore for June so far with lows in the 40's. Since mid May, been a roller coaster of temps here, and bone dry. 81 back on May 16 was tied for 3rd warmest. Although since its now a 7 am station since 2020 (previous records are aftrn max readings), it shows max temps from previous day. Technically it would be May 15 max which would make it 2nd.

Same here also. Someone bump the record player. It is stuck and keeps playing the same three notes over and over again.

[hawkeye_wx]

I barely got anything from the back-door front showers.  Most locations didn't get much.  It was cloudy all day, so the heating was limited.

[cyclone77]

Looks like our next disappointment comes Sunday, followed by another long stretch of nothing.

MLI managed to sneak in another 90 today.  That makes 9 already for the year.

had to close windows because it got chilly in the apartment yesterday

 

[OrdIowPitMsp]

Overnight low of 66, which is the coldest it’s gotten in June here. No open windows in our household.

My highs for the day, and my furnace still kicks in. Take a trip my way soon, and you'll be in heaven.  

[Spartman]

Yesterday was the first day of measurable rainfall since May 20th. Only 0.12", though.

Might head up to either Gooseberry or Split Rock this weekend. Dews have finally dropped into the mid 50s here which is a big relief. 

[bowtie`]

The AQI got above 150 here today. Not like the madness of the 300's in the Northeast but still in the unhealthy range here. Looked horrible, smelled horrible and made me breath funny outside today.

 

[cyclone77]

Great sleeping weather, hit 44 here this morning.  Lovin' these 30 degree dews.

[WestMichigan]

Where was a discussion like this in the winter instead of the usual decline in QPF that seemed to occur with nearly every storm.  We definitely need the rain so this is a good thing.

 

Latest GEFS/ECMWF ensembles support potential for three quarters of
an inch to an inch of rainfall from Sunday through Tuesday. A
gradual trend upward a bit in ensemble qpf has been noted the past
48 hours which seems reasonable given the evolution of the upper
level pattern.

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

[Torchageddon]

I've had to have the heat on during the past few days. I've had smoke advisory for 3 days in a row: longest I can remember. Even though the label for my hourlies were showing smoke most of yesterday there wasn't for half the day. Showing 40% pops for sprinkles mid-afternoon. Needed all this sun we've been having!!
