Southern Regions: As for the past forecast period, PM2.5 was Good Friday/Saturday and mix of Good/Moderate for Sunday. Ozone was mostly Good on Friday, and Good Saturday/Sunday. For today, isolated becoming scattered threats for showers and thunderstorms at times will continue ahead of a cold front through tonight. The very high humidity will stay until the front moves through, and skies will be partly sunny today. Heat index values will reach around 105. Otherwise expect around 90 to lower 90's for high temperatures, with dew points in the upper 70's. Winds will start out calm but then pick up out of the southwest around 5 mph. Mixing heights will be 3000 ft this afternoon and 4500 ft tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow (Tuesday) will be mostly sunny. Dry and slightly lower heat index values of around 100 with high temperatures in the upper 80's to around 90 and with dew points falling to around 70. Southwest winds will become northwest at 10 mph. In terms of model guidance, for ozone the Canadian has Moderate for today/Good for tomorrow. The 06Z BC NOAA model is going with the exact same solution as the Canadian. Based on these model solutions and persistence and the forecast will go with Moderate for today for Ozone and Good for tomorrow. As for PM2.5 the Canadian of course is depicting Good for both days, while the NOAA model is going with Moderate for both days. Planning on leaning closer to the NOAA model and persistence. Not as sure that the area will get well cleaned out down south here, so going with forecast conditions of Moderate for both days seems like the most favorable solution.
