Daily Air Quality Forecast for Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

All regions are currently trending code green on this Tuesday. For Wednesday, the frontal passage overnight helps to clear the skies and drop surface-based moisture levels, both of which help to stimulate ozone formation. However, a northwesterly flow out of the mountains will bring some dispersion of pollutants to SC, helping to counteract some of the formation. The deciding factor for this forecast will likely be how much smoke intrusion is brought to the area from the fires in the northwestern US. Smoke brings in precursors that allow for more ozone to form. Thus, the Catawba and Charleston Tri-County regions will likely be CODE GREEN while other areas could be CODE YELLOW.

Primary Pollutant: OZONE - 36 Good

Primary Pollutant: OZONE - 48 Good
