Dec. 5 - Fair weather sums up today. High at the LC airport was 64 F. Our normal high/low at the NMSU coop station is 60/29 F. Deming was just a little higher with a high of 66F. I noticed some haze late in the day in Las Cruces but not as strong as last week. Again high clouds covered most of the area and will prevent us from getting accurate satellite based aerosol maps today. A brief low wind event occurred in Sunland Park with peak PM10 and PM2.5 at 260 and 43 µg/m3 at around 5 pm.
