The highest AQ index in Michigan (as of 9:00 EST) is currently the Detroit area. Particle Pollution (PM2.5) is measuring at 40 (Good). This means air quality is satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.
Over the next few days, the highest Particle Pollution (PM2.5) will be in the Ann Arbor area. It is forecasted to be Good, meaning air quality is satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.
FORECAST DISCUSSION: A system north of Lake Superior keeps snow in the forecast on Friday, including lake effect snow in its wake. A second system tracking south of Michigan on Saturday may bring snow accumulations to southern locations; otherwise, north to northwest winds will keep lake effect snow in the forecast in the most prone areas. Temperatures also fall this weekend as arctic air moves in. Friday night’s lows will range from near zero in the Upper Peninsula to the teens across Lower Michigan. Low temperatures on Saturday and Sunday night will be in the single digits, with highs on Sunday only in the teens. Wind chills below zero can also be expected during this period. The threat of snow lingers Monday as a system drops in from the northwest. Air quality levels on Friday will range from Moderate in the south to Good in central and northern locations. Northwesterly winds from Saturday into Sunday will allow for Good levels statewide. By Monday, some Moderate concentrations may move back in across the south; otherwise, good air quality will prevail. EXTENDED FORECAST: Extended forecast models show a warmup by midweek next week. The warmer surface temperatures, and possible rain, will result in melting snow. Increased surface moisture will allow for Moderate air quality levels.
