Forecast Discussion: An upper level trough in the mid-latitude storm track is now positioned over the west coast and is still slated to remain there into next week. For the Nogales area this means that low-level gradients will support enhanced winds each afternoon thru this forecast period. However, the risk for significant blowing dust and high PM-10 concentrations should remain low. Impacts from smoke due to the SOLDIER BASIN FIRE, located five miles east of the Nogales Airport, are still anticipated to be minimal due to tall mixing depths, excellent dispersion, and a prevailing south to southwesterly wind regime. However, during the overnight hours some smoke may reach the Nogales city limits due to topographical drainage effects. This situation will continue to be updated as needed but for now the highest concentrations of both PM-10 (coarse particle) and PM-2.5 (fine particle) are forecast to remain in the good range of the Air Quality Index. |
