Forecast Discussion:
Taking a closer look at particulates, we expect PM10 to improve a little. We anticipate less dust-generating work activities over the weekend and around the holiday next week. As a result, we are forecasting PM10 to be in the mid-to-upper Moderate range through the forecast period. As for PM2.5, we expect concentrations to increase over the weekend with a likely increase in fireplace usage. Looking out to Christmas Eve, there is still some uncertainty. There will be a small trough moving through the area, which may be enough to keep PM2.5 in the Moderate range, but it will come down to the strength and timing of the trough. We'll take a closer look on Monday.

Ozone and Your Health
People most vulnerable to the impacts of air pollution include children, older adults, adults exercising outdoors, people with heart or lung disease, and those suffering from asthma and bronchitis. Exposure to ozone can increase the number and severity of asthma attacks, cause or aggravate bronchitis or other lung disease, and reduce the body's ability to fight infection. Symptoms may include itchy eyes, nose and throat, wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and upper respiratory issues | View Ozone Fact Sheet >
Please help reduce ozone by doing one or more of the following:
- Drive as little as possible, carpool, use public transit or telecommute
- Re-fuel your vehicle in the evening
- Avoid waiting in long drive-thru lines, if possible
- Use low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) or water-based paints, stains, finishes and paint strippers - delay big painting projects
- Make sure containers of household cleaners, garage and yard chemicals, and other solvents are sealed properly to prevent vapors from evaporating into the air
