Saturday 07/03/2010 Air Pollution

There was not as much wood smoke in the air this evening as I expected. There was wood smoke. It never got beyond the very faint level.

2:45 PM: No smoke. 91 degrees and a little humid.

6:55 PM: Still no wood smoke.

8:30 PM: No wood smoke.

10:15 PM: Very faint wood smoke in the air. It is breezy at this time. The wind is blowing west. Someone to the east has a bonfire. Most of our wood smoke comes out of the west. People in all directions are lighting off fireworks. I do not think they are all of the legal variety.

11:00 PM: Very faint wood smoke continues.

Midnight: No wood smoke at this time.

People must be out of town or the temperature and wind discouraged bonfires. It is not often that we endure such little wood smoke on a Saturday night.
