Yesterday saw PM2.5 in the moderate range and ozone in the good range. Temperatures today will reach near 80 degrees at the warmest. Dewpoints will decrease throughout the day, falling below 70 degrees, and skies will be partly cloudy. Winds will be primarily from the north, reaching speeds near 15 mph with gusts over 20 mph, and mixing heights will reach around 4000 ft. Tomorrow will bring similar temperatures. Dewpoints will continue to decrease, reaching below 60 degrees and resulting in less humid conditions. Cloud cover will decrease and skies will become sunny. Winds will be primarily from the north, reaching speeds around 10 mph with gusts near 20 mph. Mixing heights will increase, reaching around 5000 ft at most. The Canadian and NOAA 6Z BC model show PM2.5 in the good range, a decrease compared to recent measurements. This morning's hourly PM2.5 values continue to linger in the moderate range. Given recent conditions, some moderate PM2.5 will continue to be possible. The Canadian and NOAA 6Z BC models also agree on good ozone over the next couple of days, consistent with recent measurements. Given recent conditions, today's cloudy skies, and relatively high wind speeds, moderate ozone buildup will continue to be unlikely even as humidity begins to decline.
