Air Quality Forecast

July 23 – July 27: A shift from southernly winds to westerly will abate the recent humid conditions the Central Coast has been experiencing.  Onshore breezes indicate the continuance of overnight/morning fog that will burn off by the afternoon.  Expect warming inland with cooler conditions at the coast as the fog helps limit heating.  Temperatures will range from the mid-50s to the low-80s at the coast and mid-50s to mid-90s inland. Seasonal temperatures will keep ozone production at normal levels; therefore, ozone AQIs will remain GOOD.  Decent wind speeds in the Salinas Valley could bring PM10 AQIs to MODERATE.  Low pressure over the Pacific will help maintain decent ventilation, so expect PM2.5 AQIs to be GOOD as well.
