Air Quality Forecast

December 29 – January 3: An upper-level high pressure to our north and a cut-off low approaching from southern California may bring rainfall back to the Central Coast on Wednesday and into the weekend. The trend of cold evenings and foggy mornings followed by clear skies later in the day will continue this week. Temperatures will range between the low 50s up to around 60 degrees in most areas, but some inland areas may be colder with lows dipping into the mid-40s. Breezy offshore winds and unstable conditions will help with ventilation and keeping PM2.5(smoke) AQI at GOOD while wet conditions should help keep PM10 (dust) AQIs at GOOD as well. Finally, ozone levels should remain below State standards and therefore ozone AQIs will remain GOOD.
