FORECAST SUMMARY: Friday, January 31, 2025, through Monday, February 3, 2025

 PM-2.5:  24-hour average Fine Particulate concentrations are expected to be a mix of Good (AQI Green) to Low Moderate (AQI Yellow) for the weekend forecast period.

 FORECAST DISCUSSION

 Friday will be an active weather day as a cold front drops down through the state.  Air Quality will start out mostly in the Low Moderate range and transition over to Good as cold, clean air filters in behind.  Temperatures will drop sharply behind the front with Friday overnight low temperatures back in the upper teens.

 High pressure will dominate most of Saturday with peeks of sun amongst broken clouds with temperatures only reaching the upper 20’s.  Air Quality should be mostly Good under this dome of clean air.

 A clipper system will move along the United States/Canada border, Saturday night, bringing another mixed bag of weather for Sunday.  While warmer temperatures will be drawn back into the state, the potential for 1-2 inches of snow exists for areas north of I-96 with rain to the south.  With the increased moisture in the air, Low Moderates will likely prevail for most of Sunday.

 That system should be clear of the area by late Sunday leaving us with a dry, calm day on Monday with temperatures in the mid-30’s and mostly Good Air Quality.

 EXTENDED FORECAST:

 Air Quality is expected to be mostly Good going into the next work week.
