Friday is going to be smoky as hell in the city of North St. Paul, MN. The forecast high is 72 degrees with no rain. All the pent up pyromania will be unleashed tomorrow. People will be burning wood, yard waste, whatever they can get their hands on. With this spring's weather being unseasonably cool and dreary, a lot of people will be having their first bonfires of the season. Throw in the frequent burners and yard waste burners and we could be talking a dozen or more fires in an an area of a half mile square.
It is going to be a long, smoky, polluted Friday night in North St. Paul. In other words, it will be a typical Friday night. The air is always smoky in North St. Paul if the weather is nice.
8:35 PM: A very faint wood smoke is in the air. A fireplace? Burning branches?
10:00 PM: The air is not fresh. Something is in it but not strong enough to tell what it is. Last check of the evening.
