Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels are in the lower YELLOW range as sunny skies and temperatures push into the low 80s. More beautiful weather will control most of the Labor day weekend as another cooler air mass drifts south. Winds will be out of the northwest and then shift around to the northeast by Saturday afternoon. This air mass is also cleaner so AQI readings should just fall in the upper GREEN range Saturday and Sunday. There will be increased cloud cover and even a chance for showers Sunday evening. Expect AQI levels to hold in the upper GREEN range Monday as winds come in from the east. (Bodenhamer)
