Forecast Discussion:

On this Tuesday morning, water vapor satellite shows a weak area of low pressure about 250 northwest of the Spur of Baja, with a large area of high pressure over the Western United States. This weak disturbance will move over the state later today and sit here into the first part of the weekend; however, the only impact will be afternoon high temperatures dropping from the upper 70s today into the mid-70s tomorrow into the weekend.

Regarding air quality, stagnation will be the main concern, which will allow PM-2.5 (smoke) and PM-10 (dust) to be elevated across the area, especially during the early morning and late evening hours. As a result, we expect both pollutants to be in the upper Moderate AQI category through the period.

Have a great Tuesday!
