I have seen that quite a few times Striker - it is a well known phenomena - theory is the atmosphere hasnt started yet change to the colder night time changeover - you see the same thing before dawn sometimes - after the long changeover from warmer to colder - day to night - the atmosphere has settled completely in is totally steady. Like a pond after you through a rock in (kind of)- the waves eventually settle back to a smooth appearance. But you dont get that necessarily everyday either.
