Forecast Discussion: Updated Friday, May 17, 2013 at 11:15 a.m. A dry cold front will move through the area today and bring breezy conditions once again to the area. Some localized blowing dust is likely this afternoon and again Saturday afternoon and the PM10 forecast reflects that likelihood (i.e. mid moderate). The temperatures will drop a bit today and Saturday before rebounding back in to the mid 90s on Sunday and towards the century mark early next week. Ozone levels today are similar to yesterday at this time and considering the winds are also similar to yesterday, similar ozone levels are expected. Therefore the Pinal Air Park ozone forecast for today has been revised upward from upper good to low moderate. High clouds will arrive in the area later this afternoon/evening. By then it will be too late to inhibit ozone formation. Saturday will be slightly lower for ozone levels due to today’s dry cold front which should help clear things out for ozone. Sunday and Monday are a different story as favorable transport winds from southern California along with rising temperatures will help ozone formation and the levels are expected to reach the middle of the moderate AQI category. A similar story for ozone levels on Monday. Check back over the weekend to see if the forecast has been updated. Forecaster – S. DiBiase |
