Discussion

For your extended weekend forecast, very little change is expected as weak systems makes their way across the state this weekend, followed by a stronger system early next week.

Fortunately, in regards to air quality, we are expecting an improvement in pollution levels as local activity decreases over the weekend. No blowing dust events are currently expected.

After the holiday, winds will increase out of the north, along with temperatures dropping across the state.

Very light rain was observed in parts of the valley yesterday, but may not impact air quality too much.

Have a great weekend and we'll see you on Tuesday!
