Tony;
Last night the skies in Salinas were very smoky indeed (made for a colorful sunset!).
Hard to tell this morning as the marine layer is in. Perhaps later this afternoon after the marine layer has burned off we'll have a better idea. I does seem as if yesterday's winds have dissipated.
Later.
Denis

Subject: [TAC] Smoky skies for this w/e?
On the 11pm news last night I saw a satellite photo showing the smoke plume from the Summit Fire near Corralitos extending due south and just to the west of the Monterey Peninsula running south some 350+ miles! There was no discernable effect in Cupertino - no smoke, no smell, clear skies.
It seems the winds have shifted... This morning I woke up to obscured skies and a VERY strong smell of smoke!
Turning this to the topic of observing, is there someone down in the Monterey or Salinas areas that can give us an idea of what it looks like now down there and prognosticate for tomorrow night's observing at Fremont Peak? Peter? Jamie?
