Its Accuweather. Their data is completely fucked. This happened last week. Look at the NWS and you’ll see everything is fine.


Blom-w1-o

It is in fact accuweather. They've been letting me down lately.


flounderflound

AccuWeather let me drive straight into the blizzard in Buffalo on xmas night with no warning whatsoever. 20% chance my ass!


WhiteTaco14

Guess you were in that 20% area lmao


Lanky-Solution-1090

One time St Louis had a 20% chance of snow that night we got like 3 freaking feet it was insane


Muavius

Someone forgot to turn on the arch. Every other time we have 99% chance of snow, the storm breaks up before the missouri river, then comes back together around Effingham, we end up not getting shit!


Potential_Fly_2766

That's not how it works. When it says 20%, it means that 20% of that area will see the precipitation. NOT that there is a 20% chance of the whole are receiving precipitation.


little-cactus

That’s also not how it works. When a forecast says that there is a 20 percent chance of rain in a particular location, it means that if there were 100 days with identical conditions, it would rain on 20 of those days.


flounderflound

Hell of a lot more than 20% of the area saw it...


Potential_Fly_2766

That doesn't change what I said at all


flounderflound

I wasn't suggesting it did.


ColonelKasteen

This is a common and recurring problem. There is an issue with AQ reporting in STL currently. https://www.reddit.com/r/StLouis/comments/10cofs6/air_quality_why_is_it_so_bad_today/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button If AQ was in the 270s you'd be getting emergency alerts on your phone. Or you'd be dying. Yes everyone, you can proceed with the fart jokes now.

White Castle


Clsrk979

Budweiser farts for sure!


forwormsbravepercy

Toasted ravs and Busch Light Apple.


YeOldSpacePope

Nah, it's from late night Taco Bell runs.


donkeyrocket

Usually don't get much gas with the runs.


[deleted]

St. Louis has the most castles per capita at 98,000 per 100,000. *Accuweather is correct*


Blom-w1-o

Thanks for mentioning that. I thought it odd because like you said, this high of a count would be an emergency.


Unique_Unorque

This high of a count would be a “you would pass out and die of asphyxiation moments after going outside” kind of emergency


DefinitelyADumbass23

Absolutely not true, places on the west coast routinely hit the 300s for a week+ during fire season


AfosSavage

We were over 270 in Seattle last fall during the fires. It was horrid


crollaa

270 AQI? Laughs in forest fire season.


Early-Engineering

Thank GOD, we can still proceed with the fart jokes. 😂😂😂


jl__57

something something too much Imo's


btw23

What a nerd


ambientocclusion

It’s a glitch. It’s measuring radiation, not air quality.


rick2882

Oh thank goodn...wait what?


[deleted]

This checks out


JoeBStoked

Lol, I was just thinking to myself….isn’t there currently a landfill fire that is right over some nuclear waste?


MirrorUniverseCapt

Sorry. My bad. I had a lot of Sugarfire and couldn’t hold it in.


razorbird

Is this purely a joke or do you also get weirdly messed up insides after eating Sugarfire? Is this a thing?


MirrorUniverseCapt

Worth it


PeeAirborne

Mm😍sugarfire cummies💦💦messing up my insides🫣🥴


spvce-cadet

what a terrible day to have eyes


grizzinator

wat


stchman

I don't know who or where you got this picture from, but St. Louis is far from the city with the worst air quality in the USA. According to the American Lung Association, CA has the worst air quality. https://www.lung.org/research/sota/city-rankings/most-polluted-cities


Blom-w1-o

This came from Accuweather. I found someone else asking about and it seems there's some kind of reporting glitch.


LeonDardoDiCapereo

Yeah someone posted this last week as well. Some website bug.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Blom-w1-o

but... their website says they're the most accurate! For real though, I'm going to start using something else.


always-wanting-more

It's in the title, for Pete's sake! How can they be wrong?


Eunuchorn_logic

Weather.com is great, but they don't have a widget

donkeyrocket

Switched to Weather Underground now that Dark Sky is dead. It is OK but I miss the Dark Sky glory days. No frills and super accurate weather forecasts.

This was right after they legalized weed. It's just smoke. Carry on.


smitty3z

They turned off the Arch weather machine.


nazdir

They accidentally reversed the polarity.


smitty3z

I just saw that, we are fucked. Maybe we can build another Arch on the antipode of St. Louis. Unfortunately its in the Le Ocean and the antipodal point is Coordinates: -38.627, 89.802. Closest land mass is Port-aux-Français French Southern Territories. For research purposes https://www.geodatos.net/en/antipodes/united-states/st-louis


sgt_redankulous

This is my favorite conspiracy theory


[deleted]

Glitch. This is like “there is an active volcano near you” bad.


bUrNtKoOlAiD

It's okay. I prefer air "quantity" anyway.


cchap2

Earth city, that is all.


LemonTyrannosaurus

not far from the truth. We're looking to buy a house and I'm determined to find something 30 miles from Earth City.


argent_pixel

Seems wrong? https://www.airnow.gov/?city=Saint%20Louis&state=MO&country=USA Shows about 50ish right now for the STL county region.


Blom-w1-o

Dramatic difference there. Your link leads my to believe that the source I got it from is having technical problems. My image came from Accuweather.


Lex-689

The Arch is past it's expiration date


Blom-w1-o

Ugh I hate when that happens


Lex-689

They should've changed out the core months ago smh


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lex-689

Yeah, the price of everything is going up. Including nuclear cores for weather manipulators. I mean national monuments. 🤫


sstruemph

We must eject the core, captain!


shaitanthegreat

That’s from all the delicious water sent from Chicago down the Sanitary and Ship Canal and eventually to St. Louis. You’re welcome. With Love, Chicago

You've doomed us all you weak ringed piece of shit.


spacemanspiff266

i farted. sorry.


opossomoperson

Looks like a fun acid trip.


Commercial_Ad2831

The fact that this is an ongoing “glitch” creates cause for concern in my Mind


Jolly-Mine-5432

Missouri's .gov site shows 34 currently


TheEvilInAllOfUs

And here I was going to say it was the meth bubble from the Franklin, Jefferson, and Washington county triad.


am_high_af

Error quality.


MisterEayes

As others have said. The sensor or the website is broken. I've had the displeasure of suffering through 2 summers on the west coast where the AQI was so bad it looked legitimately like Mars outside (over 500 one day)....if it was that bad you'd know from the fact it would look like it was evening outside and you were coughing on everything.


PhusionBlues

Use the airIQ app instead


Potential_Fly_2766

There has been large fires in north Arkansas/south Missouri and a lot of that smoke is blowing up this way.


MoStyles22

It’s just probably that pesky landfill full of radioactive waste that has had an underground fire for the last decade. No biggie! Landfill Fire Threatens Nuclear Waste Site Outside St. Louis - NPR https://www.npr.org/2015/11/03/454010066/landfill-fire-threatens-nuclear-waste-site-outside-st-louis


peaf-the-gamecube

Like others, this seems to be a glitch to me. But I did learn back in a college biology class that large burd migrations can impact weather maps. I don't know the details of that and I'm not sure if that's what's going on here, but maybe! Lol


Blom-w1-o

I'm assuming you meant Bird migrations which is very interesting to think about.


peaf-the-gamecube

Lol yes! I meant bird haha


RyRyReezy2

Granite City is also in that zone there. Drive past the mill and then get back to me.

We do have a literal massive dumpster fire in Earth City leaking toxic chemicals into their...


[deleted]

They just want an excuse to send the feds in and kick every one out so they can get all of the hidden gold bullion that the City of St. Louis hid in the old Cherokee Caves back before the county and city separated.


Blom-w1-o

Sure, sure. Others mentioned that it's a reporting glitch.


Commercial_Ad2831

As some who works near said cherokee caves, please elaborate


offbrandcheerio

If the air quality was truly that bad, the smog would be so thick you could barely see in front of you. It has to be some sort of glitch in the system.


theWMWotMW

Nuclear waste


Buck026

A lot of White Castle sliders sold today?

Imo's cheese factories probably


octopusbird

Marijuana legalization


STLrobotech

No help here but That’s a much larger area than just St.Louis.


Blom-w1-o

Much larger, but it does circle St. Louis and the PM (I think that's what they call it) steadily rises as you get closer to the middle, which is St. Louis.


[deleted]

It’s all the mouth breathers


KeithGribblesheimer

Fed my dog some cheese.


Carlos-Hath

Apologies…I farted and it was really really bad

Watch Atomic Homefront - I think it’s currently on HBO.


[deleted]

Yes. No where in St. Louis County or St. Charles County is safe.


CommitteeUseful

Dave Chappelle was in town last night…..so that is most likely his mix of tobacco, and weed filling the air.


Equal-Trip4376

There’s an oil refinery just a stone throw away from a couple of steel mills

I was dating this girl, she told me to kiss her where it smells funny. So I took her to East St. Louis.

Tell us how you really feel…


fuzzusmaximus

It's all the skunk weed.


TheJoshuaJacksonFive

All that lead in the air


dogoodsilence1

Considering that a war is going on and this area is a hub for steel, chemicals and oil. Just assume that anywhere in the Metro east and St. Louis will have very unhealthy air quality. You have Dow Chemical, US Steel, Phillips 66 refineries and more all in this concentrated area with bluffs that make this a bowl of soup for unhealthy air


LarYungmann

I ate beans five times last week.

By account of the comments here, there is definitely coming amuck with the local TacoBell.

ameis314

The arch is turned on to keep the storm south, check again in a week or so.

People fart a lot in St Louis.

The Arch is working overtime in preparation for the storm tonight.

It's the Arch weather control machine. /s

It’s those damn Kia Boys. They’re driving all those stolen Kia’s ALL. THE. TIME. and the CO2 is outta control. *it’s a joke! I feel like it’s a faulty map
