Forecast Discussion:
Levels of PM2.5 and PM10 are expected to increase and become elevated between the hours of 7pm-8am (New Year's Eve to New Year's Day). Our hourly graphs above show this potential.
Due to stagnant conditions and strong morning inversions persisting, High Pollution Advisories are in effect for Nogales tomorrow and Wednesday.
Be sure to use our hourly graphs above to determine when to be outside and when to be indoors. Remember, if you're smelling smoke, you're breathing smoke. We recommend limiting your outdoor activity during the overnight and early morning hours of the 31st and 1st respectively, especially if you are sensitive to particulate matter pollution.
Have a good day.

Ozone and Your Health
People most vulnerable to the impacts of air pollution include children, older adults, adults exercising outdoors, people with heart or lung disease, and those suffering from asthma and bronchitis. Exposure to ozone can increase the number and severity of asthma attacks, cause or aggravate bronchitis or other lung disease, and reduce the body's ability to fight infection. Symptoms may include itchy eyes, nose and throat, wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and upper respiratory issues | View Ozone Fact Sheet >
Please help reduce ozone by doing one or more of the following:
- Drive as little as possible, carpool, use public transit or telecommute
- Re-fuel your vehicle in the evening
- Avoid waiting in long drive-thru lines, if possible
- Use low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) or water-based paints, stains, finishes and paint strippers - delay big painting projects
- Make sure containers of household cleaners, garage and yard chemicals, and other solvents are sealed properly to prevent vapors from evaporating into the air
