Memorial Day's Air Quality

Forecast Discussion: A salute to the veterans who gave their lives serving our county - Happy Memorial Day! Air quality conditions have fared pretty well in recent days. The modeled forecast of possible dust outflow from storms southwest of the Valley on Friday did verify with storm development, but did not result in dust. In fact local PM10 levels are in the middle Good range. With high pressure surging over Arizona Monday through Wednesday, winds should remain mostly light, keeping the threat of dust out of the picture. Ozone concentrations, however, may remain in the middle Moderate range much of the week under sunny skies. Daytime temperatures in Phoenix will range from 105-108°F Monday through Wednesday.
