Forecast Discussion:

High pressure is building into the Western United States this Wednesday morning, but it will not stay there long. The next system we are watching is currently located off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. It will drop southward and be off the coast of Southern California on Saturday before moving into Arizona Sunday through the first part of next week.

The first thing you will notice is increased west-southwest winds of 15-25mph Thursday through Saturday. Rain chances will also increase late Saturday through Sunday, with the best chances being from late Saturday through the day on Sunday and not expecting a lot of rain, with rain totals in the 0.10-0.20 inch range. This system will also usher in cooler air, with afternoon highs dropping into the low 70s by Sunday and Monday!

When it comes to air quality, the winds later this week may produce isolated pockets of dust, but we are not expecting any widespread dust. As a result, ozone, PM-10 (dust), and PM-2.5 (smoke) are all forecast to be in the Good AQI category through the period.

Have a great Wednesday!
