Current Air Quality & Forecast
Air Quality Forecast
March 26 – March 30: A cold front boundary swinging in from the north along with continued onshore breezes should bring a slight cool down to the region and make for a pleasant weekend. Beginning Monday morning, this troughing pattern will bring precipitation to the Central Coast which will more than likely last through mid-week next week. Latest modelling runs indicated 2” at higher elevations including the Santa Cruz Mountains, Diablo Range and Santa Lucias. Temperatures will range from the low-50s to the low-80s at the coast and low-50s to low-90s inland. Ozone levels should remain below State standards, therefore ozone AQIs will remain GOOD. Moist conditions will keep PM10 (dust) AQIs in the Salinas Valley at GOOD as well. As low pressure progresses, expect ventilation to remain adequate enough to maintain PM2.5 AQIs (smoke) at GOOD levels.
