| Southerly flow will continue to bring
Saharan dust, which will keep the air quality in the moderate category for
fine particulate matter on almost every day.
Scattered rain showers in northeastern counties may result in pockets
of clean air. The monsoon will
generate scattered showers and episodes of good air quality in the
Panhandle. Although this pattern often
results in low ozone concentrations, mostly sunny skies, intense heat, and
escalating desiccation despite isolated showers may allow ozone to reach the
moderate category near and downwind of urban areas. This pattern likely will persist through
and beyond next week with little variation. |
