FORECAST SUMMARY:
Monday, December 30th, 2019 through Monday, January 6th, 2020
PM-2.5: 24-hour average Fine Particulate concentrations will be mostly Good until the end of the work week, then a mixture of Good and Low Moderate.
FORECAST DISCUSSION
The last forecast of 2019 starts with extremely wet weather but Good Air Quality. This follows a Christmas week where Moderates persisted through most of the state.
Colder air will begin slipping in behind the rain, Monday afternoon, to give us messy, snowy conditions Monday night and Tuesday. We will not have the same amount of winter problems experienced out west, but it will be messy enough. On the positive side, we should have Good Air Quality.
The next warm-up is expected in the Thursday/Friday time slot. Southerly winds will push temperatures back up into the 40’s but will also provide the potential for Low Moderate conditions.
The next front is expected Friday night, which will drop temperatures and clean out the atmosphere back into the Good range.
EXTENDED FORECAST:
Air Quality should be mostly Good going into the next work week.
