Saturday 08/07/2010 Air Pollution

1:15 AM: A faint smoldering wood smoke is in the air.

4:00 AM: A very faint trace of smoldering wood smoke remains in the air.

6:00 AM: A very faint trace of smoldering wood smoke continues.

8:00 AM: A very faint trace of smoldering wood smoke continues. That makes almost 12 hours of wood smoke in the air.

5:00 PM: No wood smoke. 88 degrees and muggy. I do not know if there will be wood burning tonight with the temperature as high as it is.

8:40 PM: Light to moderate grass smoke. Somebody is burning grass clippings. 84 degrees.

8:50 PM: Yard waste smoke from earlier is gone. It did not last long from when it was first noticed.

9:25 PM: No smoke. The air is not fresh but I cannot smell any smoke in it. Windy at this time.

10:00 PM: No smoke, air not fresh.

10:50 PM: No smoke, air not fresh. Lightning in the clouds around this time.

11:30 PM: No smoke.

Midnight: No smoke.

The warmth and humidity and the storm moving in may have discouraged wood burning tonight. We got a good dose of grass smoke for a little while. So it was not a smoke-free evening. It started raining after midnight.
