While not as bad as last year, the smoky skies have been noticeable lately with some very vibrant sunrises and sunsets as a result. The featured image is from the ISU AMS webcam on the Design Building at ISU yesterday morning. The orange colors and sun appearing as a smooth disk are tell-tale signs of a smoky atmosphere. Thankfully air quality near the surface here in Iowa has not been as bad as some places out west, which have recently seen dangerous air quality levels.
