FORECAST SUMMARY: Friday, March 22, 2024, through Monday, March 25, 2024

PM-2.5: 24-hour average Fine Particulate concentrations are expected to be generally Good.

FORECAST DISCUSSION: Friday greets us with (hopefully) the last snowstorm of the season.  Snowfall is widespread across central and lower Michigan with several inches expected throughout the day.  Air Quality is expected to remain Good during this snow event.

 High pressure moves in during Saturday with low temperatures, Saturday night, expected to be very cold with overnight temperatures dipping into the teen’s.

 I expect a warmup by Monday as the high pressure ridge slides to the east and the next storm system approaches from the west.  All of the Air Quality models are showing Good through the weekend, and I do not see anything that makes me think otherwise.  Melting snow under warming temperatures can lead to some Moderate conditions but breezy conditions during Monday should keep that in check.

 EXTENDED FORECAST:

Air Quality should be generally Good to begin the next work week.
