Smoke Returns

Posted: 15 Jun 2023 05:30 AM

Canadian wildfire smoke returned to Iowa on Wednesday evening with the featured webcam image courtesy of the Iowa DOT RWIS station along US-18 near Mason City. It shows the classic smoke filled sunset with the sun appearing as a smooth and dull disc. The weather pattern continues to be conducive for wild fires over Canada with hot and dry conditions dominating. The same flow pattern that is allowing this smoke to visit the state is also generally keeping storm systems away as well, so it is only adding insult to injury at this point.
