Synopsis and Discussion

While fine particle concentrations have decreased significantly in the wake of a dry cold front, daily averages are expected to net out in the lower Code Yellow range. With that said, Code Green hourly readings are anticipated for the rest of the day today, along with Code Green ozone. The springtime temperature seesaw will continue this week with highs falling to the 50s tomorrow then rebounding to near 80 degrees by Thursday. Air quality is expected to remain Good on Tuesday as a clean air mass filters in from the northwest. Southerly flow will resume on Wednesday and an uptick in particle pollution concentrations is expected, lasting into Thursday. Ozone concentrations may push the Code Green/Yellow threshold.
