Forecast Discussion: Updated Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 11:15 a.m. Not much change in the forecast for the next several days…..A dry southwesterly flow over the next several days will keep rather tranquil but hot weather for the area. The monsoon officially started last Saturday but by the looks of it, in terms of local storm development the monsoon probably won’t get started for at least a week. The southwesterly flow will help keep the ozone levels in the good AQI category. The ground conditions continue to dry out and combined with the above normal temperatures should help keep the PM10 levels elevated (upper good to mid moderate). Eventually the monsoon high pressure (i.e. located over the four corners area) will attempt to set up next week. Atmospheric moisture will slowly migrate into southwestern New Mexico and far southeast Arizona this upcoming weekend. However it won’t quite make it up to the local area. Some storm development is possible in the mountains in southeast Arizona. No threat for outflow winds and blowing dust impacting our area just yet, but it’s on the horizon. The typical start of monsoon storm activity is around the last week of June to first week of July. Check back on Thursday for an updated air quality forecast. Forecaster – S. DiBiase |
