there's not a lot happening. >> and is not good. >> i wish i was busy with rain or something like that. i almost slipped. 60s and 70s and breezy and the health. there is no red flag but it comes and goes with us about 28 miles an hour. i don't see much of a change in this pattern. the air quality advisory is out -- spare the air. this is an inversion. a warm layer above the cold layer with an easterly component. the air quality advisory -- unhealthy for sensitive groups. the eastern zone is in the highest. anything over 150 is bad. not that 124 is good but we seem worse. it will probably be the same tomorrow without much change. by the way, we have company. it's over scandinavia.
