Other Pollutants:
PM2.5 - 19 Good
Current Conditions at 2 p.m. EST this Friday afternoon: Not as windy but still on the cold side under a partly sunny sky. Fine particle pollution (PM2.5) concentrations are in the good range across the area. Low-moderate PM2.5 is likely Saturday out ahead of a cold front which produces a bit of snow late Saturday/Saturday night followed by an Arctic blast Sunday and Monday. Temperatures should finally moderate by Wednesday as the flow aloft becomes westerly. Here are the forecast details: *** Saturday’s forecast: Mostly cloudy Saturday with light winds early in the day elevating PM2.5 concentrations. Some reduction in PM2.5 will occur during the afternoon with west-southwest flow increasing to around 8 mph. Overall averages for the day will end up in the lower moderate range. A cold front approaching brings a bit of snow late Saturday/Saturday night, accumulating a fresh coating to an inch. *** Sunday’s forecast: Windy and rather cold Sunday with strong mixing lowering PM2.5 well down in the good range. Highs will only reach near 20 with wind chills in the single digits. Skies will be cloudy for the most part. *** Monday’s forecast: Clouds and peeks of sunshine and breezy Monday with a cold afternoon as highs only recover to the middle 20s. PM2.5 concentration should remain in the good range. *** Extended forecast: A warming trend is foreseen by Wednesday as the upper level flow turns westerly and shuts off the Arctic intrusions. With the influx of warmer air will come increasing humidity which typically acts to raise PM2.5 concentrations. Upper good PM2.5 is expected Tuesday, followed by moderate air quality by Wednesday. Some rain is possible Wednesday night into Thursday as well.---McAuliffe
