SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
950 PM EDT SUN JUL 7 2002

...THE SMOKE SHOULD FINALLY CLEAR BY LATE MONDAY MORNING...

SMOKE FROM FOREST FIRES UP IN QUEBEC CONTINUES TO AFFECT EASTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA...NEW JERSEY...DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND.  THE 
SMOKE HAS BEEN OBSCURING THE SKY AND REDUCING THE VISIBILITY 
THROUGHOUT THE REGION SINCE SATURDAY AFTERNOON.  ALSO...THERE HAS 
BEEN A PERSISTENT ODOR OF BURNING WOOD.

THE LAST SIGNIFICANT SMOKE PLUME TO AFFECT OUR REGION PASSED 
OVERHEAD THIS AFTERNOON.  A NORTHWEST TO WEST WIND THIS EVENING 
BROUGHT LIMITED IMPROVEMENT.

DURING THE NIGHT THE WIND SHOULD REMAIN RELATIVELY LIGHT AND AS A 
RESULT SOME SMOKE SHOULD LINGER.  A WEST TO SOUTHWEST WIND IS 
FORECAST TO DEVELOP ON MONDAY MORNING AND IT WILL LIKELY PUSH THE 
LAST OF THE SMOKE AND HAZE OUT OF OUR REGION BY MIDDAY.

TUNE TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
