FORECAST: Ozone levels will be in the MODERATE to Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups* range this week. PM-10 (coarse Particulate Matter) will be in the MODERATE range.
Lingering high ozone may reach unhealthy levels over the north Valley on Monday. A slight chance of showers or thunderstorms on Tuesday with gusty winds may cause blowing dust in some areas and brief high PM-10 levels (coarse particulates.) Another round of ozone from California may cause Unhealthy levels over much of the metro area on Wednesday and again Friday, especially in the east Valley. (*Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups: Active children and adults, and people with lung disease such as asthma, should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors.) |
