| Mostly cloudy skies and scattered
thunderstorms will inhibit ozone production east of the dryline through the
weekend; however, ozone may reach the moderate category where the sun breaks
through the clouds in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, west of the dryline, bright sunshine and a dry atmosphere
will foster moderate ozone and very high fire danger, and strong breezes may
loft locally unhealthy windblown dust.
An incursion of cool and dry air will arrive on Monday, so ozone may
reach near or above the top of the moderate category under bright sunshine
beneath the frontal inversion, especially with light winds. Southerly breezes will bring back the
moisture and allow scattered showers to resume in the eastern counties toward
the middle of next week. |
