Smoke forecast for Texas

[Guest guest]

You may want to have some Neurobiologix Toxiclear on hand. No telling what we

will be inhaling with all the smoke coming up from Mexico.

Here's the 5 day " SMOKE " forecast for Texas:

Friday 04/27/12

Winds should be strong enough to generate blowing dust in parts of the Panhandle

and could possibly raise the daily PM10 AQI into the " Moderate " range in the

Lubbock area, with highest concentrations from late morning into the early

evening. Satellite imagery indicates light amounts of smoke from agricultural

burning in Mexico and Central America moving into the Texas coast this morning

but surface concentrations do not appear to be enough to raise the daily PM2.5

AQI beyond the " Good " range. Elsewhere in the state, moderate to strong winds

and low incoming background levels should help to keep air quality in the " Good "

range.

Saturday 04/28/12

Smoke from agricultural burning in Mexico and Central America should increase in

South Texas where the daily PM2.5 AQI could possibly reach " Moderate " levels and

the smoke will likely spread rapidly northward and northwestward into Central

and Southwest Texas in the afternoon and evening. Elsewhere in the state,

moderate winds and lower incoming background levels should help to keep air

quality in the " Good " range.

Sunday 04/29/12 Outlook

Patchy smoke from agricultural burning in Mexico and Central America should

cover much of the middle of the state and will likely spread into Northwest

Texas to mainly along and east of a line from Big Bend to Pecos to Dalhart and

along and west of a line from Port Lavaca to Sherman and fine particulate could

possibly reach " Moderate " levels in portions of this area, with highest

concentrations most likely in South, Central, and Southwest Texas. Elsewhere in

the state, moderate winds and lower incoming background levels should help to

keep air quality in the " Good " range.

Monday 04/30/12 Outlook

Patchy smoke from agricultural burning in Mexico and Central America should

continue over much of the middle of the state mainly along and east of a line

from Big Bend to Lubbock to Pampa and along and west of a line from Port Lavaca

to Sherman and fine particulate could possibly reach " Moderate " levels in

portions of this area, with highest concentrations most likely in South,

Central, and Southwest Texas. Elsewhere in the state, moderate winds and lower
