Dec. 12 - Low wind high PM event - Looking at the Sunland Park City Yard site I see another evening PM spike. The morning started off with some breezes but it calmed down for the remainder of the day.

In Las Cruces localized haze or more like haze clouds drifted around the west sides of the city. In the evening there was the smell of smoke north of Las Cruces as I was driving to Albuquerque along I-25.

The current AQI as of 11 pm MST shows a moderate region in our area looking very similar to yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised to see this patter over and over.
