Saturday 08/08/2009 Air Pollution

It is hot and humid today. It feels like a sauna outside. The temperature at 3:30 PM was 89 degrees measured at North High School. If you want to know the current local temperature, wind, and weather forecast, stop by this blog and see it on the Weatherbug widget on the right. We may have more thunderstorms in the area later this evening. High heat and humidity deters recreational bonfires. I do not expect many fires tonight. But you never know in this city.

6:20 PM: I had to step outside to retrieve an item. Faint wood smoke at this time. 85 degrees and humid. Wood smoke this early with the mugginess makes me suspect that someone is grilling meat using wood for fuel.

6:45 PM: No wood smoke.

7:30 PM: No wood smoke.

8:53 PM: Storm sirens sounding. Severe storms are in the area. It rained later in the evening.

There was no more wood smoke this evening because of the storm.
