Discussion

For this St. Patrick's Day, it will be cloudy and warm (highs in the low 80s), with some breezes out of the west in the afternoon. An approaching low-pressure wave is to blame for these conditions. Then, as the wave passes through tomorrow, daytime temperatures will drop around 70°F, and breezes will shift to out of the northwest. Skies also look to become more sunny. No rain is expected with this system.

Then after tomorrow and for the rest of the week, weather conditions will be rather mild, with light winds, mostly sunny skies, and high temperatures gradually increasing each day.

As for dust, the breezes today, tonight, and tomorrow should help things out a bit, dispersing local PM10 (dust). Then by Wednesday, PM10 will become mostly locally driven, with highest PM10 levels expected in the mornings/evenings.

The dust risk is Low for now. Check back tomorrow morning for the latest!
