FORECAST DISCUSSION
Nobody will deny that this has been a very active summer, both in extreme temperatures and Air Quality. Fortunately, it looks like this week will be a break in the action.
Looking at the monitor readings, Monday morning, we are seeing low readings which should stay low through the early part of the week. Mid-week looks to stay low, as well, as a result of a warm front moving through late Tuesday and an associated cold front during Wednesday. Northwest winds behind the front will provide another clean-out on Thursday.
The warmer temperatures start moving back in during Friday to set up a toasty weekend. Friday should stay within the Good to Moderate range, so I am not anticipating another forecast update until Friday morning.
EXTENDED FORECAST:
Air Quality should be mostly Good to Low Moderate going into the weekend. We could see a rise in ozone during the weekend.
