Discussion

An active upper-air regime to the north will result in periods of gusty afternoons over the next 5 days in central AZ. Despite this potential, we are not expecting blowing dust to be a major concern going forward, with PM10 (dust) remaining in the Moderate AQI. PM2.5 (smoke) will follow similar trends to PM10 but at a lower magnitude.

Your typical air quality trends will continue through the rest of the week.

We'll see you tomorrow!
