Yellow Labor Day
Posted: 05 Sep 2017 05:34 AM
Significant amounts of smoke from fires burning to the west of Iowa created for an
interesting Labor Day Monday. Between the smoke and some clouds, temperatures were
rather pleasant and a nice northerly breeze helped keep things cool as well. The smoke
also made for some interesting optics as parts of the day had a very noticeable yellow tint
as shown by the featured webcam image from late Monday afternoon. If you could see the
sun, it appeared as a plain orange disc. A cold front and upper level system should help to
sweep the smoke out of the state for Tuesday.
