Central Regions: Ozone was Good across the area the past two days, and PM2.5 was a mixture of Good/Moderate on Wednesday and then mostly Moderate for Thursday. As of 12Z this morning, surface high pressure is over the southeastern states, and there is also a boundary across the mid-Great Lakes region. This boundary will drop south today as a cold front and eventually reach the area by tonight, possibly producing a few showers and storms, but the higher probabilities are for Saturday. Once the cold front drops south of the state Saturday evening, expect high pressure to build back over the area from the Great Lakes region for the rest of the period. There is still a Heat Advisory in effect until 8pm tonight for heat indices of 105. Highs today will be in the 90's with dew points in the lower 70's. Winds will be west at 5 to 10 mph and mixing heights will be 6000 ft. Highs will be around 90 for Saturday with dew points in the lower 70's. Winds will be northwest at 5 to 10 mph and mixing heights will be around 4000 ft. Then for Sunday into Monday highs drop into the lower to mid-80's with dew points in the lower 60's. It will feel like a nice cool down for the area. Winds will be northeast at 5 to 10 mph with mixing heights both days at 4600 ft. Then for Tuesday the area is back up to highs around 90 with dew points in the mid 60's. As for guidance this forecast period, the Canadian is predicting Ozone to be Moderate today/tomorrow and then Good for Sunday. The 06Z BC NOAA model is predicting Good through Sunday which is probably more likely based on persistence and the current forecast. Will lean closer to NOAA model and go with Good for the entire period as it and the Canadian model are both hinting at some sort of clean out of the area by the cold front. As for PM2.5, the NOAA model is also hinting at a clean out by predicting Moderate for today and then going with Good through the weekend. Think this forecast makes sense so will be going with it and also adding a Good for Monday and then going back up to Moderate for Tuesday for the return of the heat and more stagnant conditions.
