It is hard to pass up an opportunity when a satellite is passing by with an elevation of 87°. Back in Los Angeles I thought I would try out roof-top parking for an unobstructed view. The skies were mostly cloudy with a cool marine layer bringing in a little fog. There was also a light scattering of stratocumulus and high cirrus clouds, but no precipitation. The Air Quality Management District initiated an Air Quality Alert. An inversion layer, which is common in LA, traps air pollutants low to the ground. For this reason there is a ban on wood burning. The fine particulates get deep into lungs and can trigger a range of health issues. Could use some rain, but nothing in the forecast for the next 10 days.
