Slow Burn Sunset in Muskegon by Walter E. Elliott
mLive meteorologist Mark Torregrossa shares that a large plume of wildfire smoke will be impacting our weather (and sunsets) over the weekend:
While it looks like a dry weekend that should be sunny, there will likely be areas of high-level wildfire smoke. The exact timing of the smoke will be difficult. It does look like some time Saturday will have a thick blanket of smoke high in the sky. It won’t mean much to the big picture of the weather other than keeping our temperatures out of the high-80s.
One thing is sure this weekend. Our humidity will be fairly low. We can see that with the morning low temperatures. Saturday morning we will drop into the 50s.
I think I can live with that forecast!!

Gorgeous sunset! It’s a shame the wildfire smoke is creeping back in here – I can’t imagine what they are going through out west with burned homes and nowhere to live.

The climate disasters are coming so hard & fast that we’re not noticing they are actually our new normal 😔

Yes, it is scary to me knowing what is down the pipeline. At 7:00 a.m., today it felt like a sauna out there – more heat, volatile weather and I wish more people had cared about that before now.
