Forecast Discussion:

Strong high pressure will remain in place for at least a week and thus the Extreme Heat Warning (issued by the National Weather Service) has been extended through Friday of next week. Storm chances will remain confined to areas well east and north of Yuma.

Peak 8 hour average Ozone each day is expected to remain in the Good range due to favorable wind patterns. The exception is expected to be Saturday with values climbing into the Moderate range.

With a lack of strong winds but good ventilation, 24 hour average Particulate levels are expected to be remain in the Good category.

Peak ventilation Saturday and Sunday is expected to be Excellent before decreasing to Good on Monday.
