Discussion

PM10 levels at the Hidden Valley monitor exceeded the federal health standard yesterday. Given that calm and dry conditions are forecast to continue the next few days, we are forecasting a High dust risk level to High through Friday. Over the weekend, another trough will begin moving into the region, which should start to improve ventilation over the region. This should help to lower the dust risk in the area.
