Also, now that I'm a non-smoker, when the smoke from Mexico burning their crop fields should arrive soon. I imagine my eyes will burn more and I'll get my air purifiers ready.

I think Austin is a no-smoke allowed city now, perhaps they can mail a citation for Mexico to pay.Friday 04/27/12
Winds should be strong enough to generate blowing dust in parts of the Panhandle and could possibly raise the daily PM10 AQI into the "Moderate" range in the Lubbock area, with highest concentrations from late morning into the early evening. Satellite imagery indicates light amounts of smoke from agricultural burning in Mexico and Central America moving into the Texas coast this morning but surface concentrations do not appear to be enough to raise the daily PM2.5 AQI beyond the "Good" range. Elsewhere in the state, moderate to strong winds and low incoming background levels should help to keep air quality in the "Good" range.

Smoke from agricultural burning in Mexico and Central America should increase in South Texas

Patchy smoke from agricultural burning in Mexico and Central America should cover much of the middle of the state and will likely spread into Northwest Texas
