Pollution Advisory Made Worse by Chemical Clouds, GE Report for 4.19.16

A Pollution Advisory has been published for the Phoenix Metro area, but the discussion stops there while jets line the sky with toxic chemicals.

Solar Radiation Management program's chemicals have been known to linger in the atmosphere for 22 hours. So as the dirty brown cloud inundates the city's skyline, chemical clouds make the pollution worse, not better, by not allowing the heat transfer at night. That means what is low cannot be released into space because the chemicals in the atmosphere will not allow the normal, natural exchange.

As Americans, the world over, we are pointed at as the cause for wicked weather because of our energy usage and supposed carbon emissions, when are we going to start demanding answers for the United Nations and NATO's poisoning of our skies? 

Or questioning the EPA for their lack of action against weather modification programs over US skies?  

Until these weather control programs are halted, there can be no real discussion of our climate, even the arguments based on United Nations' own propaganda. How is that poisoning the atmosphere negates the supposed poisoning of the atmosphere by people on the planet? It doesn't.  There is no logic to the UN's climate debate anymore.

Time to end the lies of global warming and climate change. The People of the Earth do not want nations to weaponize the weather for their own quiet wars while telling the rest of humanity we are the cause of global destruction. 

We are tired of the lies to fill the pockets of a few.

Excessive Heat, Summer Sun, No Dust

Weather / Air Quality
_______________________________

It is going to be a scorcher for the first week in June. An Excessive Heat Warning is out especially for tomorrow's 112F. No high winds or dust storms likely. No break from the summer heat as temperatures stay above 105F.

Today's Air Quality

Forecast Discussion: The Phoenix-area air quality was again in the Good range for all pollutants on Saturday. The approach of a trough of low pressure from the northwest has helped to clear the air by providing some good mixing. High pressure to the southeast will hold its position this week, keeping that trough to the north of Arizona as it slowly advances east this week. Daytime highs across the Valley may reach 110°F on Monday, shaving a degree or two through the week, and eventually "cooling" to 105°F. Expect ozone levels to push back into the lower Moderate range by Monday and Tuesday under sunny skies. Particulates should hold in the upper part of the Good range. We do not anticipate any significant dust events this week.

Triple Digit Yo-Yo Heat Ready for Action

Hot and somewhat dry. Dew points have been in the 40's while humidity has been averaging in the 30-40% range. Desert heat comes and goes this week but only showing how this summer will be: hot. Just hot.

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.

May 2014

24th-27th. Changeable skies: mixed cloud, sun, possible shower. Cool temperatures.
28th-31st. Possible showers again.

June 2014

1st-3rd. Changeable skies: mixed clouds, sun. Risk of a shower.
4th-7th. Varying amounts of clouds, sun. Dry.

Rain? You Don't Say

Tomorrow the Valley of the Sun has a 30% chance of rain.

Forecast Discussion: Low pressure to the west will spin in place through much of the week. The southwest-to-northeast flow will keep the potential ozone and precursor train from southern California moving into Arizona. The good news is that smoke from southern California wildfires won't be much of an influence as crews have mostly subdued them. Local ozone levels continue to decrease steadily with highest levels in the lower Moderate range. With the churning trough of low pressure to the west, Arizona can expect gusty winds Tuesday and Wednesday. This could cause localized pockets of dust in the vicinity of recently disturbed soil. Overall maximum PM10 levels, however, should remain mostly in the Good range. Conditions improve Thursday as winds decrease.

Windy, Dry Conditions May Create Another Dust Event

When will this wind end? Not for the next 48 hours or so. Phoenix can expect windy conditions to persist with PM 10 and 2.5 particles being kicked up again.

Forecast Discussion: What an impressive dust event we saw Sunday morning. Contrary to some media reports out there, this was not a localized event. This was not a "dust storm". This was not isolated to Arizona. A large trough of low pressure moved through the western U.S. The leading edge of the cold front churned up an impressive amount of dust extending from the desert valleys of California and Nevada, through Baja, and finally northeast through Arizona and New Mexico. Looking at concentrations from monitors to the west, California was hit hard with dust first on Saturday morning. Around 10pm Saturday night, it was Las Vegas that got hit. Yuma saw concentrations spike around midnight. Then dust moved into the Phoenix area around 2 am on Sunday. The cold front continued east through the early morning hours, and by 11 am, levels and visibility improved significantly. About the same time our air cleared, Albuquerque, NM got slammed. This was a major dust event that could not be prevented on a local level no matter what control measures were in place. Nature vs. Man, and Nature won easily. As of 10am Monday morning, Phoenix-area PM10 levels are back in the Good range. Looking ahead, high pressure will move overhead this week, pushing daytime into the triple digits by Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately, we may see some more dust on Wednesday, this time from the east. Concentrations, however, should not result in an exceedance here in the Valley. Expect ozone levels to increase as well under sunny skies. The northeast and east winds could trap ozone and precursors in the Valley by mid-week, sending levels well into the Moderate range.

Anyone with respiratory issues may want to wear a mask or stay indoors with a good air filter.
