Things are heating up here in Las Vegas with temperatures in the high 90s as the frontal passages and stratospheric intrusions of last week are a distant memory. There’s lots of ozone today, but I’m afraid it’s all home grown; the only stratospheric intrusion we’re seeing is from the Stratosphere Hotel, which looms large across the North Las Vegas Airport from TOPAZ.

Wow, I did not realize that you are parked so close to the strip.
We’re not really that close. The stratosphere is 5 miles away.
