Exclusive: Carter Centre to launch first-ever US election initiative, citing "erosion" of democracy in the country.
The organisation, founded by Carter, monitors elections in hotspots around the world. This is the first time it has worked in the US.

From the units this looks like what's in the entire atmosphere (added up vertically) rather than what's near the surface. Near-surface smoke seems more interesting. (e.g., for HRRR Smoke model see rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/H… )

What did I complain about? I'm guessing it was something about error messages making bad suggestions.

If you look at the current 5 day forecasts for TD 13 and TD 14, they show (with substantial probability of error) two separate hurricanes making landfall on the Gulf of Mexico coast on Tuesday night, one in Florida's panhandle and one in Texas.

COVID Update August 20: You have been hearing Biden and Harris say he wont "do the work" to discuss Trump's failed pandemic response. They're being polite.
Here's what doing the work looks like and what it doesn't.

I think they're Romano beans.
If so, they (chopped up) make good Chinese stir-fry dishes as the base vegetable (perhaps with a sauce based on fermented black bean). Probably other things too..

There were some big fires maybe a decade ago? Still a small portion, though.
I wish somebody maintained a map of California by year of last wildfire...

Category 2 hurricane making landfall in San Diego County?
(There were a few weeks in 2018 when the sea surface temperatures got warm enough for this, for the first time we've observed.)

That said, the 02:00 UTC HRRR Smoke doesn't believe that it should be smoky here right now... so it's possible its initialization data doesn't know about the fire that's causing the smoke here.

(This one is near-surface smoke, not vertically integrated)
Both north and south of us. Smoke probably from the north. Maybe as shown in nitter.vloup.ch/davidbaron/statu… although probably some aren't showing up there yet.
rapidrefresh.noaa.gov/hrrr/H… is what I'm looking at. Lots of bright colors...

My read of the HRRR smoke vertically integrated smoke forecast is that perhaps it's from the fires in Sonoma county or the larger fires in Napa county.

It might be above-ground smoke from a different direction that the current pattern causes to sink to the ground if you're just northeast of the mountains.

Managing ventilation for the combination of COVID-19 + fire smoke + heatwave is going to be interesting...
