Current Air Quality & Forecast
Air Quality Forecast
May 29 – June 2: Beginning Thursday, high pressure will build over northern California raising temperatures for inland regions. Coastal temperatures should remain at or near average for this time of year. Simultaneously, a cut-off low meandering over Baja California is inducing easterly winds over the west coast. The combination of elevated temperatures, dry conditions and offshore winds raises the fire risk through the end of Saturday. Beginning on Sunday, GFS modeling has low-pressure dipping down from the north which should mitigate any fire weather at least temporarily. Temperatures will range from the mid-40s to the high-70s at the coast and mid-50s to the low-100s inland. Ozone levels should remain below State standards, therefore ozone AQIs will remain GOOD. As high-pressure builds, winds should calm therefore, PM10 concentrations should also remain below state standards. As conditions continue to stay dry and calm through Saturday, expect AQIs for PM2.5 to potentially become MODERATE.
