AQI at the edge of the GSM National Park is 74—Moderate. It's bone dry here, +/-40% humidity and highs in 80s this week. 73º F right now, 9:45 P. *Maybe rain Saturday.

@avlcharlie

More to the point, Western NC is at high risk for wildfires at least until there is significant rainfall. Those fires can me made worse and spread faster because of felled trees and other debris throughout the region from Hurricane Helene, 18 months ago,

@TheEddieShow
Exactly. I was just surprised to see our air quality in the unhealthy range, but yesss some rain would be nice.. its like kindling out there..

@avlcharlie

Yeeesh. I saw the haze, and was stupid enough to be working in the yard for a couple of hours this morning and i've had a *killer*headache for the rest of the day.

I should know better. Dang.
