** WEDNESDAY AIR QUALITY **

Due to a mix of wildfire smoke and increasing surface ozone levels due to air pollution remaining stagnant due to our high pressure system, air quality across the state will begin to worsen this afternoon and evening. This should not be a major concern for most individuals, but those with breathing concerns should take precautions today.

ORANGE (Unhealthy for sensitive groups) - Members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is less likely to be affected. Sensitive groups include children, people
suffering from asthma, heart disease or other lung diseases,
and the elderly. The effects of air pollution can be minimized
by avoiding strenuous activity or exercise outdoors.

YELLOW (Moderate) - Air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.

Stay tuned for updates!

Good morning, happy Wednesday! We will be turning up the heat a lot today with temperatures climbing into the mid-to-upper 80s. These temperatures are roughly 5-10 degrees above average. A few isolated spots may touch 90 degrees this afternoon. It will be mostly sunny for most. If you are planning to be outdoors for extended periods of time, make sure to take breaks and hydrate often. This will be one of the hottest days statewide so far this season.

AREA A - A few showers and thunderstorms are expected within this zone between 3-8pm. A rogue storm may produce locally strong winds.

Stay tuned for updates!

Air quality will become unhealthy for sensitive groups Wednesday afternoon. Stay tuned for an update in the morning!

Temperatures warm up even more tomorrow. Who’s excited? ☀️ 😎

** STRONG - SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK **

UPDATED: 1:00 PM 6/3/2025

TIMEFRAME: Thursday (6/5) - Saturday (6/7)

While the next few days will feature hazy and warm/hot conditions, we will be ending the week on a stormy note. A slow-moving cold front will inch into the region, possibly leading to a few days of strong to severe thunderstorms. There will be plenty of instability with the high temperatures and higher dew points expected. Wind shear (change of wind speed/direction with height) may be slightly lacking but may be locally enhanced with any passing disturbance. Nevertheless, we will have enough atmospheric ingredients for the risk of stronger thunderstorms.

Not every location will see severe weather every single day throughout the time period. Some days may see two days at most overlap of possible strong to severe thunderstorms. The zones will be better outlined as we get closer to the timeframe.
With saturated soils, we will need to watch the risk of possible localized flooding as well. This will be enhanced with additional moisture arriving later this week, allowing for thunderstorms to produce more rainfall. The coverage of these strong to severe storms will stay isolated to scattered at best. No outbreak is expected.

If you have any outdoor plans between Thursday - Saturday, keep this in mind! Do not cancel or move plans yet, but creating a secondary plan may not be a bad idea in the threat your plans are impacted by thunderstorms.

Stay tuned for updates!

HERE COMES THE DENSER SMOKE!

🔥Much more denser smoke will begin to move into the Commonwealth throughout the day today, west to east Today's smoke will be denser than it has been the last few days. With sinking air with our ridge of high pressure, some of the smoke may affect air quality this afternoon and evening, primarily across western and central Pennsylvania. The air quality may reach 'Moderate' levels across those regions, which may affect people with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly and children are the groups most at risk.

➡️Where is this smoke coming from? While we have been sitting under many cool and wet days here in Pennsylvania, the opposite has been occurring in Canada. Prolonged ridging has led to a warm and dry spell across much of central and northern Canada over the last few weeks. With these prolonged dry spells, the risk of wildfires increases significantly. This has led to the start of at least 188 fires in recent days. With the abundance of wildfires, the wildfire smoke rises in the air and becomes trapped in our jet stream pattern.

Stay tuned for updates!

The Canadian wildfire smoke is making for vibrant sunrises and sunsets this week. This is because smoke particles, which are larger than typical atmospheric molecules, help to scatter shorter wavelengths (blue and green colors), allowing for the deeper reds and oranges to reach our eyes at the surface.

Good morning, happy Tuesday! We will turn the temperatures up even higher today with high temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to low-80s. Unfortunatly, what would have been a sunny day will be tampered with wildfire smoke, creating milky skies. Some smoke may reduce air quality this afternoon and evening. Stay tuned!☀️

** DENSER SMOKE RETURNS TUESDAY **

Tuesday will likely be the worst day for smoke this week. Denser smoke will begin to move into the region as our ridge of high pressure slides our way. This smoke will create a milky look to the sky tomorrow as some of the sunlight will be blocked by this denser smoke. ➡️This will be nothing compared to two summers ago- when the smoke was thick enough to significantly cool temperatures and cause very hazardous air quality. ⬅️

WILL IT IMPACT AIR QUALITY? In regards to the surface, with sinking air associated with the high pressure system, the latest model projections do have this becoming surface-based as we head into the afternoon and evening hours on Tuesday. I am expecting areas across the state tomorrow to reach 'Moderate' in terms of air quality, which may bring a risk particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.

The smoke will begin to move out on Wednesday, although some impacts on the air quality may linger until we see showers and thunderstorms return to the state later in the week.

Stay tuned!

** AURORA VIEWING FORECAST **

A new CME has impacted Earth this evening, enhancing the magnetic field. This will set up for possible aurora viewing with G2/G3 solar storm conditions possible. Nothing is a guarantee with aurora viewing, so it is not recommended that you travel long distances to view this event.

TIMING: Look to the northern sky after it becomes dark, which is roughly after 9:30-10pm.

SKY FORECAST: While skies will be mostly clear, incoming wildfire smoke will likely mute colors. This is not expected to be a strong aurora show, so the colors will more likely be picked up by long exposure cameras and smartphones. It is very unlikely you will be able to see aurora colors with your eyes outside of stronger substorms.

Stay tuned and let me know if you see anything this evening!

06/02/2025

Northern lights possible tonight 6/2. A visibility map will be issued soon.
