Tuesday

Sunny this morning in Painted Cave, but the marine layer lingered all day. Humidity high and temperatures low. No smoke visible to the north until about 4 PM when there was a big flare up and the brown cloud of smoke in the picture below developed. I understand fire crews are preparing at the Santa Ynez River. All-in-all, a slow day in the neighborhood. We have a community briefing at 6:30.
