Current Air Quality & Forecast
Air Quality Forecast
October 13 – October 17: Tuesday marks the last day of the latest cooling trend as low-pressure over the region migrates eastward. Behind the trough, expect high pressure and a warming trend that should last into the weekend. Temperatures will range from the high-40s to the low-80s at the coast and low-40s to low-90s inland. Despite elevated temperatures inland, ozone production will be at normal levels; therefore, ozone AQIs will remain GOOD. As high-pressure builds, expect a reduction in atmospheric ventilation and as a result MODERATE PM2.5 (smoke) AQIs. 20 mph wind speeds with up to 30 mph gusts in the Salinas Valley could bring PM10 (dust) AQIs to MODERATE.
