Forecast Discussion: Saturday, May 18: Mostly cloudy skies with scattered thunderstorms will limit ozone formation in the Columbus region. However, light easterly winds will limit the dispersion of pollutants. As a result, AQI levels will be low-Moderate. Sunday, May 19: Light to moderate easterly winds will transport moisture and regional pollutants into central Ohio, enhancing particle formation. Therefore, despite partly cloudy skies and scattered thunderstorms inhibiting ozone production, AQI levels will be low-Moderate for particles. Monday through Thursday, as the low-pressure system gradually approaches and moves through Ohio, generally southerly winds will transport additional regional pollutants and moisture into the Columbus region, enhancing particle production. Despite increasing clouds limiting ozone formation, AQI levels will be Moderate for particles on all four days.
