Thursday, June 8, 2023-SW Michigan-Unhealthy Air Hanging Around
Currently 64 with an average wind from the NW of 4 mph. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 41, Barometer 29.8, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:03 am, Sunset 9:19 pm.
Sunny with a high in the mid 70s. N winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25 in the afternoon.
Mostly clear with a low in the upper 40s. N winds 5-10 mph with gusts to around 20 in the evening.
Sunny skies for us with still no hint of rain. However, looking very much like Sunday through Tuesday will bring us welcome much needed rain. Finally.
In the meantime, be aware that our air quality isn’t the best due to the more than 9,000,000 acres of fires burning in Canada. Yesterday the air quality in New York was crazy beyond the danger zone, better today but still extremely unhealthy. We are fortunate here that we aren’t facing the brunt of that smoke danger. Still and all, it’s not good out there for those with breathing problems. Just be careful. The air currents aloft are not favorable for now of blocking that smoke, or moving it out further into the ocean. It’s the same pressure that is keeping us in cooler temperatures. A change is coming in about a week or so, but for now, that smoke is leaking down into the states in a very unhealthy way. Just be cautious and aware that breathing outside for the present isn’t the best for those who need to be alert for bad air issues.
