24-hour average Fine Particulate concentrations are also expected to be mostly Good (AQI Green).
FORECAST DISCUSSION:
It is a rare thing, in Michigan, to look at the long-range forecast and see mostly clear skies throughout the forecast. Add cool, pleasant temperatures and low humidity and the next few days will be ideal. The only hitch will be breezy conditions following a Friday cold front. This will bring about sustained westerly winds ranging between 10-15 mph and gusts reaching up between 20 and 25 mph throughout the weekend.
As the colder winds sweep across Lake Michigan, however, there is a chance of lake induced instability which could throw up a few clouds and random, isolated showers. These isolated showers would likely be limited to late Saturday and occur closest to the Lake.
Air Quality will be Good throughout the weekend and into the upcoming work week.
EXTENDED FORECAST:
Air Quality is expected to be Good going into next week.
