Right here in Seattle, the smoke was amazingly thick on Wednesday morning, solely exceeded by the acute occasion of Sept. 2020 and equaled by the smoky interval in summer time 2018 (see small particle ranges at Lake Forest Park over the past 5 years in the past).
The extraordinary smoke was related to a dying fireplace (Bolt Creek) within the Skykomish Valley.
How might this be?
The reason is present in my podcast (see under). The “good storm” of meteorological circumstances.
And speaking of good, think about the climate circumstances over the Northwest this weekend.
ANOTHER ridge of excessive stress will develop over the West Coast this weekend (see higher degree map , 500 hPa–about 18,000 ft late Sunday under). And you realize what meaning…. heat and solar.
However this time of the 12 months we won’t get actually sizzling…so highs will solely get into the higher 70s within the west. Almost good. It will not final although…cooler temperates for mid-week, however little rain within the forecast. My podcast goes into the small print.
