Forecast Discussion:
Looks like we are going to see a break from 80 degree days in this current forecast period. Not only that, but a slight chance of rain has finally entered the 5-day forecast period! Tuesday, there could be a few showers across Arizona. Confidence is still not 100% there, but we'll have a better idea of accumulation totals/timing in upcoming discussions.This gradual shift in our weather story is due to a couple of troughs making their way through the region. The system we are anticipating on Tuesday/Wednesday next week will be the stronger one with moisture and breezy winds associated with it. South-southwesterly winds between 15-25 mph are possible Tuesday into Wednesday. Again, we'll have a better idea as we get closer to the day.
In regards to air quality, PM2.5 (smoke) dropped down into the Good AQI category for the 24-hour concentration average yesterday. We are still keeping this particulate in the Moderate AQI range through Monday. With rain chances moving through on Tuesday, hopefully, we'll see a drop in PM2.5. PM10 and ozone are forecast to remain in the Good AQI range.
Have a great weekend!
