VOLCANIC CLOUD UPDATE: Sulfur dioxide emissions from Alaska's Mt. Redoubt volcano are spreading. A doughnut-shaped cloud about 600 miles wide is now swirling through the stratosphere off the coast of California. Sulfur dioxide and associated aerosols have been known to produce sunsets of exceptional beauty. Check spaceweather. com for the latest sulfur dioxide maps to see if you should be looking for volcanic colors this evening:
Of course it's raining today, but from the satellite radar, maybe this front will pass through by end of day. Could be great on the coast.
FYI...

I think all that ash has found its way into the Owens Valley today!! Soo much wind and a lot of dust in the air. At least I thought it was dust! thanks for the heads-up Lon.
