Forecast Discussion:

Storm activity trends down beginning today with just a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. That continues through Friday before trending up over the weekend. With less cloudiness and humidity, temperatures will climb above normal beginning Thursday and continuing through Sunday as high pressure strengthens over the region.

Daily average Particulates are expected to remain in the Good range aided by recent rain plus warm season ventilation. Of note, with better storm chances over the weekend, there is potential for strong thunderstorm winds to cause a brief spike in the readings but at this time, they are not expected to be strong enough to raise the daily average out of the Good range.
