The highest AQ index in Alabama (as of 15:00 CDT) is currently the Montgomery area. Particle Pollution (PM2.5) is measuring at 64 (Moderate). This means air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Over the next few days, the highest Particle Pollution (PM2.5) will be in the Birmingham area. It is forecasted to be Moderate, meaning air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Wednesday: Upper level ridging centered to the west of the area will slightly retreat westward. This will allow for moisture moving down the eastern side of the ridge to move into the area. This will allow for the possibility of scattered storms. Winds will be from the northwest at 5-10 mph. PM2.5 is expected to be in the yellow range. Ozone is expected to be in the green range. ML
