Discussion

Weekend is almost here and is the perfect time for mild, breezy weather here in central AZ. Multiple shortwave systems will sweep across the Great Basin region over the next few days, helping to lower temperatures and increase ventilation. Precipitation chances are mostly in northern Arizona, however, very light as is.

As for air quality, ozone is forecast to come in the Moderate AQI category throughout the 5-day period, with particulates following local trends.

Have a great weekend and we'll see you on Monday!
