Tuesday, April 1: Moderate west-southwesterly winds will aid dispersion in Portola as a trough of low pressure aloft moves across the northern Sierras. In addition, periods of precipitation will enhance atmospheric mixing, leading to Good AQI levels. Wednesday, April 2: Light and variable winds will allow pollutants to accumulate in Portola throughout the day. However, cool temperatures aloft will continue to support atmospheric mixing. Therefore, AQI levels will be low-Moderate. Thursday through Saturday, calm to light easterly winds will allow pollutants to accumulate each morning and evening in Portola. However, moderate easterly winds will aid dispersion each afternoon as a surface ridge of high pressure moves from the Pacific Northwest into the Great Basin. As a result, AQI levels will remain low-Moderate on all three days. Sunday, calm winds will hinder dispersion in Portola as a surface ridge of high pressure stretches across the northern Sierras. Furthermore, a ridge of high pressure aloft will move across the region, decreasing atmospheric mixing. Therefore, AQI levels will increase to mid-Moderate.
