Good afternoon, everyone. It’s a cool, fall day across the region and the temps are being aided by smoke from the western wildfires making it all the way into our part of the world. That’s helping to bring a hazy sky, cutting down on sunlight. A bigger blast of fall air is on the way later in the week as we track a cold front into the region. Oh yea, we also have Hurricane Sally about ready to slam ashore along the Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n

Today’s smoke is thickest across the northern half of the state and you can see this on a visible satellite…<\/p>\n

Temps will struggle to get into the 70-75 degree range in this area because of the smoky sky. Here’s a better depiction of just how much of the country is seeing some smoke from the devastation in the west…<\/p>\n

That’s pretty remarkable and sobering at the same time.<\/p>\n

Hurricane Sally is still several hours away from coming onshore, but this thing is moving super-slow…<\/p>\n

The slower movement has allowed this storm to weaken some because of upwelling of cooler water underneath it. But the same slow-movement is also leading to historic flooding in this region…<\/p>\n
