Air Quality Forecast

November 15 - November 19: The storm front left snow in the Santa Lucias Friday morning but expect mostly clear skies as the front leaves our area. A Freeze Warning has been issued for interior portions of the Central Coast from midnight Friday to 8 am Saturday, where temperatures will drop to 29-32 degrees F. Otherwise expect cool temperatures and slight chances of precipitation on Sunday, and then a drying trend beginning Tuesday. Temperatures will range from the low-40s to low-60s at the coast and from the low-30s to upper-60s inland. Cooler temperatures will keep afternoon ozone levels below State standards and thus air quality for ozone will be GOOD. Breezy conditions bring good ventilation and GOOD PM2.5 (smoke) AQIs. Due to moist conditions, AQIs for PM10 (dust) should be GOOD.
