Forecast Discussion:

An active upper-air regime to the north will result in periods of gusty afternoons over the next 5 days in central AZ. Despite this potential, we are not expecting blowing dust to be a major concern going forward, with PM10 (dust) remaining in the Moderate AQI. PM2.5 (smoke) will follow similar trends to PM10 but at a lower magnitude.

Highs in the mid-80s today will begin to fall tomorrow, reaching the 70s by Thursday and continuing to drop gradually as we move towards the weekend. Unfortunately, there are no rain chances within the current forecast, and may be a long wait before we see any here in the desert southwest.

Your typical air quality trends will continue through the rest of the week.

We'll see you tomorrow!
