  3. It's happening. Our fresh pure ocean air is being polluted by those inland heathens. Simple air filter has been deployed.

    At least our temps will be cool with highs in the high 60s here in #CoosBay

  5. If I believe my iPhone weather app, Newport has a worse AQI than Portland this morning. It says 153 here, not sure where it’s measured, though a Purple Air map shows one at 134. I should get a sensor, weather is very local here (like by the block), and it’s super hazy, but I don’t smell smoke. The sunrise picture sure shows it though. #orwx #newportoregon #oregoncoast

  6. Had planned to go back to Portland this evening, now delaying a few days to wait out the worst of the smoke and heat. There’s a little smoke visible in Newport, but the air quality is still decent so far (45 AQI according to my Apple Watch) Still have a strong N wind blowing. Two beach pics at 5:30, you can see the smoke (that’s not clouds or fog). #newportoregon #oregoncoast #orwx

  7. The winds are shifting to the west, drawing smoke from the east side of the Cascades into western Oregon and Washington. We have escaped the wildfire smoke so far, but it appears to be coming for us.

    Here on the coast it is okay so far.

    I don't have enough filters to make a Corsi box, but taping one to the back of a box fan works okay.

  8. Very excited to share that the first of my automated weather graphics are now live on ingallswx.com. This is a soft launch, I'll be adding many more later this week.

    Today's offerings are 7-day forecast graphics for select Pacific Northwest cities. These update four times a day and use a mix of sources similar to how I would put together my own forecasts. Unlike here where I toot in metric, these are available in imperial units.

    This project is made possible by generous donors to Ingalls Weather. Thank you!

  9. Well, by some minor miracle we *appear* to have avoided major losses in #Oregon despite the #RedFlagWarnings, #FireWeatherWatches and #PDS notifications. Minimal fire growth, but we've still hit an all time record for YTD acres burned, beating out 2024's gangbuster of a season. These successes are a testament to the complete and coordinated fire protection system here in #Oregon.

    We still have 6-8 weeks to go with more red flag warnings and a growing heatwave.
