Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels are in the GREEN range Monday as high pressure slides in from the north and helps keep temperatures pleasant and pushes the smoke from the weekend down to our south and west. This air mass will continue to control our weather for Tuesday but winds should have more of a southwestern component and allow temperatures to push into the mid 80s. AQI reading are expected to respond to this pattern and return to the lower YELLOW range. As this high drifts farther east, a maritime flow will begin to develop Wednesday and Thursday. A coastal low will also increase the southeasterly flow pattern and help improve AQI readings back into the GREEN range Wednesday. (Bodenhamer)
