Current Air Quality & Forecast
Air Quality Forecast
October 16 – October 20: Building high pressure over the region following the unsettled weather earlier this week should bring a warming trend through the weekend. As the low moves eastward, expect offshore flow through Saturday. These winds patterns should keep most of the marina stratus at bay, however some sections of coast will experience nighttime fog into the mornings. A cut off low off Baja California will begin to influence conditions early next week. Temperatures will range from the high-40s to the mid-70s at the coast and mid-40s to the low-80s inland. Ozone levels should remain below State standards, therefore ozone AQIs will remain GOOD. Moist conditions earlier this week will help keep PM10 (dust) AQIs in the Salinas Valley at GOOD. Decent ventilation and the incoming low-pressure system early next week should help limit any major smoke impacts to the North Central Coast Air Basin (NCCAB).
