Forecast Discussion:

Mild and warm weather conditions will prevail this week. Therefore, PM10 (dust) and PM2.5 (smoke) will be locally driven each day. We will also have the added effect of the New Year's Holiday. Because of fireworks and woodburning, PM2.5 levels could reach rather high in the hours leading up to, and after, midnight Wednesday. For now at least, both PM10 and PM2.5 are forecast in the Moderate AQI category each day.

Check back tomorrow morning for the next update.
