And the alert continues, though its been downgraded from "red" to "orange." Currently the temperature is 65F/18.3C. Partly cloudy right now, with more moving in later, but the smoke haze also continues. The relative humidity is 53%, with the dew point at 48F/8.9C, and winds up to 10mph/16kph. There's about a 60% chance of rain this afternoon, which might help wash some of the ash & smoke out of the air. Meanwhile, the grass pollen is rated "very high", and the air quality is "unhealthy." The high temperature today should be 73F/22.8C.
