Forecast Discussion:
Air quality in Yuma yesterday remained within the Good AQI across the board. The morning northerly winds seen in the area tapered off quickly after writing yesterday's discussion, bringing PM10 (dust) down with it.Today's winds will be calm, and PM10 is not expected to be an area of concern, not for today at least. With lighter winds and clearer skies today, ozone is expected to jump up to the Moderate AQI, but only low Moderates are expected.
Going forward, the potential blowing dust event as discussed yesterday is still a possible concern for tomorrow, with a new frontal system sweeping across the desert southwest. Westerly winds in excess of 25 mph in the afternoon hours may pick up some PM10 off the looser soils to the west of Yuma, and blow these airborne particulates into town. As illustrated in our forecast graphs above for tomorrow, blowing dust will be possible in Yuma around 3:00pm-5:00pm.
Once the system moves through completely by Thursday, ozone will rebound due to ample sunlight and stagnation at the surface by the end of the week, possibly back into the Moderate AQI.
