Forecast Discussion:

The main story for the upcoming forecast is not the air quality, but the extreme heat expected over the next 5 days.

Temperatures in the Tucson area are forecast to reach well above triple digits starting today and through Monday, with the highest temperatures occurring Saturday and Sunday. Remember to take breaks and hydrate often during the hotter afternoons.

For air quality, ozone will remain in the Moderate AQI category, with particulates coming in the Good AQI.

Check in with us tomorrow for the weekend forecast.
