NOAA’s interactive smoke forecast map is another useful tool for this kind of information. In the upper left corner, click on Near Surface Smoke. In the bottom left corner, click on the time stamp to change it to local (not UTC), and animate forward to your time of interest. This is NOAA’s state of the art model data, called High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR). It’s simulated every hour over the continental united states, at a high spatial resolution, hence the name high resolution, rapid refresh.
There’s a lot of good info here. A table of contents would help me as a first time reader, and would also help me go back and reference some of the topics that I haven’t memorized yet. There’s a lot of new terminology for me. I’m not sure if navigation popups are supported with theprepared’s web architecture. I think these are helpful because readers like me wouldn’t need to go down new internet rabbit holes, when all that’s needed is a brief description for item or acronym. Including a link on where to get a recommended item would also be cool. Thanks for putting this together. So far so good. I won’t be using kra-z-glue for my lascerations anymore.
