3/16/2020 Forecast Update

FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Monday March 16th, 2020 through Monday, March 23rd, 2020

Lighter winds Monday may allow for a few Moderate fine particulate readings; however, a boundary moving through early Tuesday should bring levels back to Good. By Wednesday, a storm system is approaching from the southwest. Increased moisture, warmer temperatures and a southerly wind cause precipitation chances, but it will also allow for scattered Moderate fine particulate that may linger into Thursday. After a stronger cold front passes Friday, fine particulate is expected to be Good.

EXTENDED FORECAST:

Extended forecast models show high pressure positioned north of the region through early next week. Dry conditions and cooler temperatures will keep fine particulate in the Good range.
