It got to 339 in the Wall area last night. It is down to 230 as of 11AM today (Thursday). Accuweather predicts it will be better in our area by Friday. There were two local fires in addition that were aggravating the AQI in our area: a forest fire in Jackson Township and a Box Turtle Fire in South Jersey. I will see where we are by 9PM or so tonight and make a judgment. On Thu, Jun 8, 2023 at 10:21 AM Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I can confirm 519 AQI out here in PA is not good for breathing.

Monroe was 369 at 8PM (yikes) and I can recall it being worse. We had a huge fire in the 70's that wiped out our forests in Monroe. This isn't even close to the smoke we had then (fire was 1/2 a mile away). But now I have asthma and this is nasty. From what I've seen is that the remaining smoke will move further south across Delaware.

Two things 1. 519 AQI - Ouch, 369 gave me headaches indoors (no bike riding) 2. Jeff B use this:
Put in your Zip and see what they predict. My guess at this time is that it will be down to Moderate by Saturday.
