Hazy Skies

Posted by: Hurricane1216, 12:30 AM GMT on June 11, 2012

As the Little Bear Fire burns its share of 26,000 acres in southeast New Mexico, its smoke plume continues to grow and has since beat its counterpart, the larger Whitewater-Baldy's plume. Today the smoke plume reached the CenTex area.

This evening, the skies glow with a ghastly white tint, associated with the haze. The low humidity, dry air, and glazing heat does not help the situation. As the sun sets, that area of the sky glows with an unprecedented orange and white tint.
