Air Quality Forecast and Weather Discussion
Friday, an approaching upper-level low pressure system will produce moderate onshore winds during the afternoon and evening hours. While these winds will aid in dispersion, pollutant carryover from the morning will lead to high-Good particle levels. Saturday, an upper-level low pressure system passing through northern California will produce moderate onshore winds. These winds will disperse pollutants, leading to Good particle levels. Sunday, surface high pressure over the Pacific Northwest will generate moderate and gusty northwesterly winds, which will keep the atmosphere mixed. Therefore, particle levels will remain Good.
