Although we still can see a lot of smoke overhead, at least it isn’t here at ground level like it was late yesterday.  The rain that is expected this weekend is supposed to clear our air and get rid of a lot of the smoke.  I sure hope so.  Our temperatures will remain right at the average point today and skies should be clear.  An air quality alert is still in effect until noon on Friday.

Our 12:45 PM temperature is 73°F (23°C), the humidity is 32% and winds are from the NW at 4-10 mph.  The dew point is 35°F (2°C) and the pressure is 29.78 in (1008.5 mb) and steady.  Visibility is 14 miles and the UV Index is very high at 10.  Yesterday’s high was 74°F (23°C) and the overnight low was 43°F (6°C).  Average temps for this date are 77°F/54°F.  Sunrise was at 5:59 AM and sunset will be at 9:14 PM.
