Yep this was the AM here. Didn’t see the sun at all until ~1hr after it rose, was like a deep overcast. Can’t wait until this s**t is gone tomorrow.

Sorry to get all Tim on here but I tend to agree. Today is perfect here in Portland area, 70s and mostly sunny, and the next several days will be too. Thunderstorms are awesome too and yesterday morning was a fun drive to work… but clammy and gray just doesn’t belong in the middle of summer, IMO. We put up with our crappy winters for a reason.

Smoke is really not that bad in the cities. I can feel it in my throat, but it doesn't smell like a constant bonfire like it did in 2024. Which I understand is not the case in places east of here.

I’m working in Victoria this afternoon and it’s clear blue skies over here.

Hmm. Just a slight 25 degree difference at day 5 for Salem.
