Synopsis and Discussion

AQI readings are hovering in the mid to upper Code Green range today under a mix of sun and clouds. It will continue to be hot for the rest of the workweek with high temperatures in the lower 90s and there will only be a slight chance of afternoon storms for the next couple of days. It will be quite humid as well, which typically acts to limit ozone formation and Code Green readings are expected to persist as a result. Fine particle concentrations are low upstream and occasional storms will likely keep readings from increasing significantly out ahead of a frontal passage that will promote continued Good air quality on Friday.
