TT-SEA Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 We were out on Lake Sammamish today on the boat... definitely got much worse right before we came in. Did not seem to bother anyone though... the lake was packed and it was really warm out there. The smoke was much lower by late afternoon compared to when we got out there. But it was noticeably better as we drove east towards home. The mountains are still visible here. This shows up on the current AQI map with the smoke coming down from the north and accumulating in the south Sound.

Frontal Snowsquall Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Me neither. Looks like the smoke canopy is making it's way into North central and NW WA now. Little heavier looking this time. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/west/wfo/sew/vis.jpgHere's what the air quality looks like right now for the PNW. The unhealthy air is starting to creep it's way west of the Cascades. From Cliff's new blog post today he thinks it's going to get worse through tonight and continue into tomorrow due to strengthening northerly and easterly winds. http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2018/08/smoke-now-pushing-western-washington.html?m=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawniganLake Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 The 18z GFS dumps over 250” of snow across the higher elevation of Ellesmere Island and Baffin Island over the next two weeks.

Frontal Snowsquall Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 PDX made it to 88 today. Tomorrow through Wednesday should be our last heatwave of the year unless the smoke gets too thick and keeps temperature down.

Chewbacca Defense Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 In Montana right now, and the smoke is incredibly bad. We started out the day in Bozeman and finished in Great Falls. Its like it is foggy at ground level, but completely "overcast" from all the smoke. We took what was supposed to be a very scenic drive to get up here but could not really see anything. Sounds like we will be driving into more of the same for our return trip to Bellingham tomorrow.

Deweydog Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 The Okanogan Valley looked very reminiscent today of August 2001 except it isn't entirely surrounded by fire as it was then. That smoke was insane and created some pretty incredible inversions in the south valley. For a few days Omak had highs of 100-105 while the south valley had highs in the low 80's.

TT-SEA Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 The HRRR model shows most of the smoke at the surface and aloft being blown way out to sea by tomorrow morning. This might make Chelan more tolerable as well. It seems like offshore flow is usually not effective at clearing the smoke from the lowland basin. It just causes it to accumulate and get thicker. The event last September was incredible here... we had gusty east winds and a temp in the 90s and blowing smoke with no sun at all.
