Current Air Quality & Forecast
Air Quality Forecast
July 31 – August 4: The low-pressure system which has situated itself over the Gulf of Alaska will continue to exert its influence on our region, continuing the mild conditions we have been experiencing. As this system migrates off to the east, an excursion of low-pressure will dip down into northern California and bring increased moisture and gusty conditions. Expect a deepening of the marine layer as onshore breezes work to enhance the flow of moisture to the central coast. Temperatures will range from the mid-50s to the mid-70s at the coast and mid-50s to the low-90s inland. Ozone levels should remain below State standards, therefore ozone AQIs will remain GOOD. Breezy conditions in the Salinas Valley could elevate PM10 (dust) AQIs to MODERATE. Low-pressure should help ventilate any accumulated PM2.5 (smoke), however wildfires around the state and in Canada could bring local AQIs to MODERATE.
