Air Quality Forecast

April 13 – April 17: Conditions will stabilize and temperatures will gradually warm this week as a low-pressure system moves out of the region. The marine layer will give way to sunny, clear days and cool afternoons each day. Low and High temperatures will vary between the upper 40s to low 70s for most of the forecast area, but temperatures along the coast will be a few degrees cooler. Northeast winds will be relatively calm during the week at around 5-8 mph, but conditions will become more breezy leading into the weekend as another upper-level trough drops out of the Gulf of Alaska. Good atmospheric mixing will help keep PM2.5 (smoke) AQIs at GOOD. High soil moisture should help maintain PM10 (dust) AQIs at GOOD. Ozone levels should remain below State standards and therefore ozone AQIs will remain GOOD.
