FORECAST SUMMARY:Tuesday November 12th through Thursday November 14th, 2024

OZONE:

November marks the end of the 2024 ozone season. The 2025 ozone season will begin on March 1st.

 PM-2.5:

PM-2.5 concentrations are expected to be in the Good to low-Moderate range.

FORECAST DISCUSSION:

We enter the middle of November with forecasted surface high temperatures hanging around normal temperatures for this time of the year. After a few days of sporadic and spotty rain showers, High-pressure and associated clear conditions, set in for the next day or so. As we get into Wednesday, although the High-pressure moves off to the northeast, conditions throughout the day will be rather identical to today, Tuesday. The next Low-pressure system to bring in rain will move into the region late Wednesday and into Thursday with showers hanging around throughout Thursday but slowly tapering off as we approach the evening.

For air quality and associated PM-2.5 concentrations, as a result of the cold front and rain we experienced this past weekend, PM-2.5 concentrations received a good cleanout therefore conditions are currently sitting in the Good range. Regionally Good concentrations will aid the multi-day Good conditions we will see for PM-2.5 in the Great Lakes state. These conditions are expected to continue due to the aforementioned Low-pressure system and rain forecasted to traverse the state Wednesday into Thursday.

  EXTENDED FORECAST:

Conditions this weekend look clear with temperatures in the low-50s, clearing skies, and Good overall air quality.
