Both the 12:00 UTC (5:00 PDT) and 18:00 UTC (11:00 PDT) runs of the HRRR smoke make it look like the smoke will clear out of the Bay Area on Monday, bringing non-fire air quality by Monday evening. near-surface: rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/H… vertically integ.: rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/H…

Forecast verification: pretty good, although I was actually expecting even a bit cleaner than this.

How do you navigate to these from the NOAA site? I’ve tried and failed to find them and end up injecting url parameters into links you post. There has to be a better way...?

In general, these HRRR smoke images can be found at: rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/H… for the southwest US or rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/H… for the whole country. The 48 hour long runs are done only every 6 hours; other runs just extend 24 hours.
