Forecast Discussion:
Very strong winds will continue to generate patchy blowing dust today and in turn raise the daily average PM10 (dust) level into the upper Moderate range (close to the threshold of Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups). Much lighter winds can expected Saturday with just lingering breeziness followed by light winds Sunday and before minor breeziness develops Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, an upper level low pressure system will lead to chances for showers (and slight chance of thunderstorms) Saturday through Monday. The approach of a larger weather system keeps precipitation chances going for Tuesday.
Daily average PM10 levels decrease greatly on Saturday to the Good category and remain there through Tuesday.
Daily average PM2.5 (mostly smoke but also some very find dust) will be elevated today into the Moderate range due to the blowing dust. Expect substantial improvement to the Good category on Saturday with daily averages remaining there through Tuesday.
