Forecast Discussion:

There were gusty winds in the area yesterday, and that will continue today and tomorrow as a trough makes its way through the region. These winds should help keep ozone levels in the Good AQI range through Saturday. Fortunately, we don't expect the winds to be strong enough to cause any major dust issues. So, PM10 and PM2.5 are also forecast to stay in the Good category.

Beginning Sunday, calmer conditions are forecast to return, which will likely allow ozone levels to move up into the Moderate category through the end of the forecast period. As for PM10 and PM2.5, calm conditions should allow particulate levels to remain in the Good AQI range.
