Daily Air Quality Forecast for Taconite, Minnesota

As of this Thursday afternoon, widespread sunny skies and light winds are in place across the state. Temperatures have warmed into the mid 30s (north) and 50s (south) as well. Poor atmospheric mixing in addition to extra moisture from areas of snow melt has resulted in the build-up of locally elevated levels of fine particle pollution, namely across parts of central Minnesota which is where the Yellow (moderate) AQI category is forecast for today. Green (good) AQI is most likely for the rest of the state, though the potential for locally higher concentrations will remain through the night over urban and other pollution source areas. A weak cold frontal passage from north to south tonight will bring north breezes and eventually a cleaner airmass on Friday. While low-end Yellow AQI cannot be ruled across southern Minnesota Friday, the current forecast calls for Green AQI statewide Friday. An incoming clipper low pressure system will lead to breezy southeasterly winds on Saturday. As a result, elevated levels of air pollution may move into southern Minnesota. Yellow AQI is most possible on Sunday across southeastern Minnesota, where it will take longest for another southeastward-moving cold front to pass through, which will once again exchange the slightly polluted airmass with a cleaner one. Much colder air arrives behind this front as well, to start the new work week.
