West coast fires and smoke?

[Flyfaster_MTN002 412]

Weather seems to be sever clear from the servers... Anyone showing and fire(s) and/or smoke/haze etc. on the west coast or Hawaii even in the volcano ?

Can't seem to find any 😞

Dont bother at this time. Live weather is more like a random weather scenario mode at the moment. Should be improved with next patch. For the life of me I can't figure out how they messed it up so bad in the first place. Taking local METAR data with models from Meteoblue should be pretty straight forward. Same goes to their navigation database that comes from Navblue. Outdated and erroneous.

Doubt one patch will make it ok. We may actually get “random” wind tho.

Why would the weather system track that?

Because it is a significant hazard to aviation. Satellite views from space show massive smoke/cloud cover. It is a reportable occurrence and should be in any accurate weather forecast. Similar to the effects of the volcano a year or so ago that also affected aviation.
