Forecast Discussion:

All pollutants ended up in the Good AQI category yesterday. Looking ahead, weather conditions are expected to settle down the next several days. As a result, we don't expect any major air quality issues. Ozone is forecast to stay in the Good AQI category through the forecast period. PM10 is forecast to return to the low Moderates on Monday with typical morning dust in the more industrial areas. And as for PM2.5, it is forecast to hover around the upper Good to lower Moderate range over the next several days. We are forecasting slightly higher PM2.5 levels over the weekend with potentially a little bit more wood burning activities.
