The highest AQ index in Rhode Island (as of 7:00 EDT) is currently the Providence area. Particle Pollution (PM2.5) is measuring at 41 (Good). This means air quality is satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.
Over the next few days, the highest Ozone (OZONE) will be in the Providence area. It is forecasted to be Moderate, meaning air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Unsettled for Saturday, with southerly flow, clouds, and showers. Air quality GOOD. Highs in the low 60s. Milder and drier Sunday, temps into the 70s. There should be enough sun combined with SW flow to bring ozone MODERATE, fine particles creep to near MODERATE in Providence, GOOD elsewhere. Temps fall off quite a bit Monday as low pressure to our south brings north winds, clouds, and showers. Highs only around 50F, but air quality back to GOOD.
