This Cloud Of Smoke Is Controlling Our Weather…

Thank you for keeping us informed.

I live in southern Idaho and we have been absolutely pounded by thunderstorms for the past two months. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen in my past 25 years here. Things are crazy right now.

Thanks Ryan for talking about the smoke! You are the only person I could find who uploaded about this smoke other than news channels! Thanks for all you do!

I'm actually a Canadian viewer who watches to make sure I'm up to date on weather events hitting family in the US. I'm pretty close to NY and it was wild seeing how bad it got down there for you guys in the cities. We had to wear respirators outside but you all got HIT! Sorry for our second-hand smoke 😬

Your info on the wildfire smoke and how it affects the weather over such a large swath of our country is fascinating. Thank you for taking the time to keep us weather-informed. You continue to be the best weather team anywhere! Thank you, Ryan Hall Y’all!

I used to live near Seattle and started to dread every August because of the wildfire smoke drifting in from pretty much any direction. The summer of 2020 was downright awful when it hit, giving us the worst air quality in the world at the time. I have nothing but empathy for those on the east coast dealing with it. Stay safe as possible!

Alternate Title: The Weather is High, Who's Getting Smoked?

It brought a whole new meaning to Great Smoky Mountains, we're unable to see most of the mountains here in NC because of all the smoke.

I live in Michigan, we also have a fire going here, so I'm sure some of that smoke contributed to that as well. Keep up the good work.

Since the fast snow melt up here in NW Wisconsin it did seem like the wild fire smoke above us in Canada was dissipating any Spring storms we usually get in May/June so we've gotten really dry. We need rain badly!! Praying things normalize a bit next week. It's been strange how the news/weather people haven't discussed how the smoke can cause drought like this? I appreciate that you covered what I supected was happening.

Thanks Ryan for explaining the entire smoke situation. I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia. We've had an orange sun for days in the mornings. The smell of smoke was horrible yesterday. As of right now, (noon on 6/8) its not that bad, for now. Thanks for your informative videos.

I live in Brooklyn, NY, and when I saw the sky was yellow and orange smoke everywhere. It smelled like a campfire from the Forest. That's how I described it. I hope those wildfires in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Alberta are put out.

All of my friends are in NY and they said that yesterday was the worst, like it smelled so bad like a bonfire and the sky was orange….my best friend actually thought the world was ending, and pretty much a lot of restaurants in our area closed early because of it.

The sky over Cincinnati Ohio has been completely grey with the smoke for the last month. Its wild! Hopefully the fires get put out soon

Thank you for being so informative Ryan you have top notch stuff on your channel.

I must say you are really good at this!!! Better than any other weather person I have seen on any channel on the TV… When I first saw you I thought “Wow what a great idea on Clip-Share” keep up the good work!!!

Thank you Ryan! Love how you explain the forecasts so eloquently in an easy to comprehend manner.

I live in southern Vermont, and we saw a bit of this on Monday, but it just seemed more like odd fog that wouldn't break than smoke. It wasn't until relatives in CT and NY started posting photos and talking about it that I looked into it and figured out what happened.

Thank you Ryan for reporting the truth about the weather and the smoke from the north

Thanks, Ryan, for your updates. Shenandoah Valley experience of the smoke is something to behold. Thanks again, Ryan, and I'm looking forward to hopefully the snow this winter. Go El Nino!

Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication! I appreciate you man.

Here in Michigan, we're under another Air Quality Alert and the orange moon caused by the smoke kinda freaks me out. It does look cool, though. We REALLY need rain here in the Great Lakes State.

Thanks for addressing this, Ryan! I was on your sites looking for this info yesterday, so glad to get notification of this drop today! I value your expertise on all things weather-related!

Fires from Canada causing so much asthma for me & my family, very haze from their wildfires. Prays to wildlife’s up there 🙏🏼❤️

We have air quality problems all the way over here in ohio. Yesterday it was so hazy it looked like the morning fog hadnt lifted. Not nearly as bad as new york (that orange glow is positively dystopian), but it was strange. Air quality today is a bit better but still not great. And the smoke forecast you showed puts one of the purple areas of dissipating smoke right over central ohio, so thats likely to change for the worse. Hoping it stops soon. Might explain the orange moon a couple days ago though.

I so appreciate you and your team!! I talk about you all the time to my fam. I think they're sick of me talking about weather!🤣🤣🤣

The reddish sky all day was kind of cool to see all day here in CNY, and the smell was like someone was having a camp fire all day which I kind of like, but not while it was under those circumstances, it made me concerned for my family and friends that have asthma.
Now it feels more like late Autume and early winter temperature wise instead of unofficial summer.

We definitely need some rain in the Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky area! Th smoke from the Canadian wildfires has been bad here, too, but the worst thing in this area is that we are in a moderate drought. I hope and pray that we get that promised pattern change this weekend, which will bring us a greater chance of rain next week. Keep up the good work, Mr. Ryan Hall!

For the last couple of days, we've had cooler temps between 60° and 68°F in the daytime. The week prior, we were between 85-90°...in N.E. Ohio! Thanks for explaining, Ryan!

There’s a video where a meteorologist recorded the satellite timeframe looking at the Quebec region, and it shows many fires started in that region at exactly the same time. This was no accident. They were set on purpose.

Some 30 years ago, wildfires were similarly spread through West Virginia. When the wind shifted from SE, the smoke in central Ohio was almost as bad as NYC looks now. You could smell the smoke in downtown Columbus. The same wind that brought the smoke brought a few days of drizzle, and the smoke held close to the ground.

The smoke in the Northeast is reminding me of what it was like here in Central Washington (state) back in 2017. Back then the northern part of the state had several big fires burning (combined with big fires burning in Oregon and California alongside a slow-moving weather pattern) that caused smoke to be so thick the sun turned pink, my eyes burned, and I could taste the smoke when I inhaled it.

Weather has been so weird lately, much thanks for covering it. The smoke is not really that bad up here but it is causing unusually cool weather and keeping our rain chances pretty much non-existent. Knowing this won't last forever and we'll snap back to reality (sorry) is a little concerning.

Between the Hawaiian volcanic eruption and the Canadian wildfires, we have probably lost years of any air pollution gains.

I live in south central Pennsylvania not far from the Maryland border. There was a lot smoke in the air this morning but it’s not as bad currently( 1:00pm).
It is somewhat eerie when you can smell the fire this far away. The smell is as if the fire is not far outside of town limits, yet we all know it is much farther away. There is a small wildfire here in PA, south west of Stare College area I believe. Thank you for reporting on the fires as well as the weather!

Thanks for the update Ryan. Thanks for all you do. Keep up the good work

Thank you for the reports! Keeping an eye out for something on Arizona’s monsoon season this year

Thx for providing a no bs and understandable weather project!

Yeah, I had the smoke in Central Pennsylvania. It was really bad for one day, but the other days, it was just moderate or not too bad. I was getting scared that the fires would be getting down here close to where I live, or some would start up nearby. I'm surrounded by woods and mountains. I don't think I would be able to get all my cats into the car and drive away if a fire was all around us. However, it's cooled down and rained a little bit, and it no longer seems like we're about to catch on fire, not quite as much.

It was so bad in Philly yesterday. We went to a concert downtown and had to walk maybe 75 yards outside from our parking space to the entrance. My wife who has asthma barely made it. I have hay fever type allergies from time to time and my nose was stuffing up and eyes were watering. Never seen anything like it in my life. It's just awful outside.

Wow, an amazing explanation of what’s happening and why. Thank you.

Thanks! I love explaining to my husband why all of the weather is happening!

Glad it's been cooler weather here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Having the smoke and heat would've been awful.

Thanks so much for making this video, Ryan!

Thanks Ryan for explaining the entire smoke situation, I live in Alexandria Va Got the code red air quality very unusual winter like bubble over the north east which it’s causing lack of rain getting bone dry here.

Those "smoke particles" sure look a lot like the same color of a cloud from an ammonium nitrate explosion... like the ammonium nitrate that just went missing off a train that derailed in the U.S. the other week. And its also pretty wild how a large number of these fires in quebec all lit up at once, and was caught on video doing so.. things to think about..

I’m in TN and we have enjoyed having cooler temps, we usually go from winter to summer but we had a “real” Spring this year 😊

Thank you for making things clear in a simple easy to understand way.

In Ohio, we have light orange/yellowish skies and have for a few days. Happy it’s not as bad as other regions, but it’s definitely still creepy.

Thank you for the update. I see a line of that smoke hitting my neck of the woods around 2pm today (Friday). It has been super hazy the last couple days for sure and it looks like the brunt will be today. Also you mentioned that the trough is a first for June, do you know why? Anyway I enjoy your reports keep up the good work.

I know it's not really your geographic area but if you could give some of your thoughts on this years Southwest monsoon that would be awesome. It's going to start soon hopefully

It's been a mess, Ryan! Hard to breathe here in central New York State. The smell is an old campfire pit or wet woodstove soot. Strong and you can't get away from it. If it's heading your way, stay inside, don't do any active activities, Pray for rain.

I wondered why people have been freaking out about it, but you saying it’s not common in the east makes sense, since I just moved from CA to TN. So, I’m one of those who is used to it. And these hot days here while CA is experiencing cooled temperatures now plus with the smoke I’m wondering if it’s followed me 😮😂
Thanks as always Ryan, for keeping us updated!

It's very interesting that our weather systems have seemed to stop moving and even going backwards.

We had this last week from Newfoundland last week and from Nova Scotia and Alberta/Quebec early this week but it cleared out yesterday because of changing wind. It's unpleasant as you should stay indoors as much as possible. This has probably done more to kill running in the area than anything else.

Thank you for keeping us informed!!

Hi Ryan,Thanks for keeping everyone informed about the smoke and the severe weather but will Fort Worth,Texas be okay?

Thanks Ryan. This was the best explanation I've seen, and I'm in nyc. Yesterday was the scariest, weirdest day. Mid afternoon, when everything was orange felt like the End of Days. It was very difficult to breathe and my eyes and throat were burning. Awful. Today we are seeing improvement. It just looks like a hazy august day. Glad you're here. I've been watching you from the very beginning.

I’m Live in South Central Pennsylvania and the Canada’s Wildfires SMOKE has been Covering Our Air Space. I have Asthma and it’s Burning my Eyes and I’m in my Home. I Hope Everyone Stays Safe !! The Fire Started by A LIGHTNING Strike. Thank You So Much Ryan Hall Y’all 🤗🙏🏻

The cooler air will keep the smoke pressed to the lower altitudes, even to the ground. Just like it does for fog.

We've been seeing the smoke in upstate SC the past few days! It's making our mountains look very hazy, you couldn't even see the distant mountains yesterday it got so thick!

You are the very best! I trust you more than any meteorologist...local and or national ! Thank you!

Thank you sir! This is by far the best explanation of what is going on. I live in the tristate area and I have been watching all the news channels about this and they all suck!

Thanks for all the information, I just hope we get some kind of rain in central PA soon! Its been so dry.....

No smoke here in Utah. The summer has been lovely this year 😊

Thank you Ryan!! Best weather info anywhere!

The Canadian smoke has definitely been affecting us here in North Carolina, but I sure do like the cooler air from Canada! It's usually sizzling here in June, but it's a pleasant 81° today.

It was horrible in New Jersey yesterday. It kept on getting more orange by the minute. I've never seen the weather like this before. Today it's just very smokey outside. The sun is not so bright like it should be during the day. You can't see the NY skyline from NJ because of all the smoke today.

thanks for the update! also what causes the jet stream to come down in June when it's a rare thing?

I , also live in South Central Pa and the report air quality is worse today . It is very unhealthy today . I had to go out yesterday and wore my N 95 outside . Cleaned my air conditioners filters yesterday and set my air conditioners for just inside air . Ran it all night and into today . This is the worst I have ever seen this heavy of smoke in Huntingdon County , PA . Take care everyone , this is something to not mess with . Love and Hugs .

Thank You, Ryan for your broadcasts.

The Canadian Smoke flow has been going on for several days up to now. It smelled like all our neighbors were burning brush! In downstate NY we were finally able to distinguish atmospheric clouds and pale blue sky! Air quality is much better this evening. Down to 60 a tad north of NYC. NYC @ 131. There have been waves of cold air / warm air flowing through the area. NO rain thus far. I guess we can always wait 5 minutes…thanks for looking out for the NORTHEAST!

Thanks Ryan for the latest weather forecast update.

Thank you for keeping us informed. We have family who are in the path of the smoke and have lung issues. Asking you and your subscribers to please pray for my hubby and I. Our air condition unit broke last summer and we're trying to stay cool with an old window unit. My hubby is on oxygen 24-7 due to Covid damaging his lungs. He had a rollover accident in 2009 and it took his career. Thank you in advance. God Bless. PS, I do have a Go Fund Me, but we're not begging for donations.

I never thought smoke could travel this far , First time i've seen this in Ohio !

I love the cold we are getting from Canada in SE Indiana! Keep the hot humidity away. The crops are desperately needing rain though.

I'm in NC near Charlotte & it's crazy that the haze is coming this far

In the UK during the late summer/ autumn we get similar skies but just more clear but instead of smoke, its sand from the Sahara. And thanks for this update!

Hey Ryan. Thanks so much for an update on the smoke. Didn't know how long it would last.

The wind is controlling the smoke which is affecting the weather still. Praying for a huge gust of freezing rain and wind from Florida to Canada. Christmas in July ❄️🥶 🙏

We have had smoke haze in Pittsburgh for more than a week: spectacular sunrise/sets and blue white skies.
It was 42 this morning here, and heavy frost on the Allegheny Mountains. Our hi was 66.

I live in Brooklyn, NY
The sky looked brown yesterday after 11:00 and it lasted until evening.
I left work on Monday midnight and I knew something was wrong. I was unable to walk fast and I felt something was choking my body.
It turned dark early Tuesday evening and it had deep smog at midnight, and I even had hard time to walk due to smog.
Today (Thursday) is a bit better and I don't smell anything burning on the street

Ryan Hall Y'all
Thanks for the updates🙌🙌 As always Shared to Facebook Public

Smelled like, looked and felt like like coastal weather this morning here in Izard County Arkansas. Rain started around 10am and it's been raining on and off since.

Great to know about the smoke from those fires. It's storming right now 1:25 pm Burgess, Virginia, off the Potomac River. Pouring hard with minor hail. Lots of lightening. Was that a fire induced storm??

It's also uncommon that 6-10 fires start instantly.

REALLY appreciate the smoke forecast information. MN has lots of air quality advisories and we really need rain.

Reminds me of Seattle a couple years back when this side was on fire. Hope it improves for them.

This video is incredible. Thank you for breaking it down like this.

Thanks Ryan. The smoke up north is something we get yearly in Texas from the Mexican burn-off. We've had haze/smoke here the last few days as well, it's that time of year.
You might also take a look at the Texas panhandle. The folks in Amarillo have been dealing with flooding for over a week now with the storms parking themselves over them with that trough you were talking about. They've had a lot of road closures and such up there. I grew up there and have family up there and it's pretty nasty. The last time I remember something this bad was 1982 when we had flooding to the point my siblings came back from Denver to a sign on the house I made that said "Welcome Home to Beautiful Lake Amarillo."
If that outbreak of severe weather expands over to the panhandle, the thought of severe storms on top of the rain is just really not a good thing. Insult to injury type of things.

What a hard situation for all who are getting this smoke. You can't get away from it by going in the house.

If Yellowstone erupted, what would the smoke patterns look like in general?

We had so much smoke in north central South Dakota about 3 weeks ago that I thought fields were on fire beside our house. I panicked! I thought the fire was going to break through our trees any second but it was Canada. I could see ash? Side note: we need rain!

We had code red yesterday and day before for AQ in Franklin county NC. Today is code orange. It looks cloudy/hazy outside so nothing visually obvious. My lungs beg to differ! First time I had to use my inhaler but the dog still needs to go outside. We were supposed to get rain yesterday but nothing substantial. No rain today. :(

These fires are very suspicious. Been getting storms in my area I never get this time of year.

you inspire me that one day ill find my passion too, well done man! THANKS!!

Aw sh*t Ryan. You once again pointed out my exact location in a higher risk for severe weather on Saturday. 😅 love to see it. Weather is my thing, and I’ll have cameras ready. (I’m in Norman by the way)

Wow, that first picture (NYC skyline covered in thick, dense yellow haze) looks like something right out of Blade Runner 2049!! Definitely an apocalyptic vibe going on!!!

We deal with smoke for about 3 to 4 weeks (Usually September) in the PNW from fires in British Columbia. This is becoming a yearly event for us, and it is getting tiring.

Always thanking you Ryan for your great info
