48 degrees, cloudy, hazy calm winds.Going to Glenmere Lake this morning for a little fishing and to enjoy the smoky air.Anyway, last few days are a homeowners delight......no heat or ac needed,LOL.

Stay inside old man...jk, be careful if you do go. I am a chipper almost 42 and i been coughing. but in all seriousness no one should be doing outdoor activities today. they canceled my daughters field day and my sister up in syracuse all outdoor activities have been canceled. The fires are unreal seeing drone images from today, why are they not working to put them out or are they just too big to even try? It has been nice out cool, but having the windows open probably isn't the best thing but it gets too hot in here otherwise.

I saw a article sigh saying climate change is to blame...umm how did it light a match and start the fire? Stupidest shit I ever heard. I do wonder how it started, if they figure out it was a camper and who it was they should serve some serious jail time for causing such destruction, sad to see so many trees and thousands of animals perish.

Let's move on to tomorrow and why it's different. Starting with the first image, X marks the wildfire source region. Low pressure today (black L) is in eastern Maine, sending smoke along the black line (approximate) into our region around low pressure. Tomorrow the same low… pic.twitter.com/7ErKhHanIH

That circled area is a shadow/ plume of thick heavy smoke.
Keep an eye on this

it’s by me today it wasn’t that bad I just noticed it’s starting to get dark. The sun is gone. And it looks like it’s going to rain and thunder but there’s no rain on the radar and they do smell a little bit of smoke from the wildfires. And yes the winds are starting to pick up here we go again.
