The smoke continues to smother the tri-state because of a weather pattern know as an “Omega Block” to meteorologists — here’s what that means and when we can expect the smoke to ultimately clear out
Another weather system that has helped drive the great Canadian-American smokeout — a low-pressure system over Maine and Nova Scotia —"will probably be hanging around at least for the next few days," U.S. National Weather Service meteorologist Bryan Ramsey said.
The buckled jet stream ends up creating the equivalent of an atmospheric traffic jam. It stops the migration of the high and low pressure systems, which leads to stagnant weather patterns. Much of the wildfire smoke is carried in the wind flow aloft, several thousand feet up. During the day, as temperatures climb, the atmosphere becomes unstable. Pockets of warm, buoyant surface air begin to lift through the atmosphere – much like a hot air balloon rises.
