Forecast Discussion:

For your Christmas forecast: PM2.5 will remain in the Moderate AQI category through the rest of the 5-day forecast as early morning temperatures remain cool and stagnant conditions persist.

A weak system will move through the state tomorrow, providing some gusty westerly winds in the late morning and afternoon. Afterwards, temperatures will drop slightly and calmer conditions will return. As of now, no rain chances are expected for at least another week. Maybe we'll get something on New Year's?

Smoke levels may increase tonight and tomorrow in more localized areas as residents use their fireplaces/firepits to get into the holiday spirit. Tomorrow's afternoon winds will help disperse any residual pollutants that build up in your area. Use our hourly graphs above as a useful tool to help plan out your day.

Have a Merry Christmas and we'll see you on Thursday!
