Alerts in force

An Air Quality Alert is issued by the National Weather Service on behalf of a state or local agency when pollution is expected to reach a level that harms health. An Air Stagnation Advisory means the air will not move enough to clear what is already in it.

None are in force near Jasonville right now. All Indiana warnings.

The forecaster’s discussion

Written by Indiana Dept. of Environmental Management 2 for Terre Haute and filed with AirNow.

Central Regions: Ozone was Good over the past forecast period, while PM2.5 was a mixture of Good/Moderate. (Past Friday through Sunday.) As of 12Z this morning, on the radar is a widespread area of showers and isolated thunderstorms mainly around I-70 and south of I-70. This large body of precipitation is moving slowly east southeast. Meanwhile, a stationary boundary is lingering to the south of Indiana, over Kentucky this morning and will remain today, before finally dropping south of Kentucky by this evening. Rain will eventually diminish throughout the day as the boundary drops farther south and conditions will become mostly cloudy. Highs this afternoon will have quite the gradient ranging from the mid 60's (north) to around 80 (southern counties) of central Indiana. Dew points will be in the lower 60's. Winds will be northeast at 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. A weak wave moves across the area on Tuesday and could mean some isolated showers and thunderstorms. Seasonable temperatures will continue into tomorrow (Tuesday) and actually through the rest of the work week! Look for highs on Tuesday afternoon in the upper 60's (north) to mid-70's (south) with mostly cloudy skies. Dew points will be in the upper 50's. Winds will be northeast at 10 mph with gusts to 20 mph. Similar high temperatures and dew points are in store for Wednesday. Winds will continue to be from the northeast at 10 mph. As for guidance this forecast period, the Canadian is predicting Ozone to be Good through Wednesday. The 06Z BC NOAA model is also predicting Good ozone through Wednesday, which both models make sense as the area is getting a decent rain today, which may help clean out the area. Then the winds remain out of the northeast through the period at or above 10 mph, and it's hard to get Ozone growth this these kind of winds. Will therefore go with Good for ozone for the entire period for both sites, Terre Haute and Indianapolis. As for PM2.5, the NOAA model is also predicting Good through Wednesday, which makes sense for the above reasoning for Ozone. Will as a result go with Good for the entire period for both sites for PM2.5 as well.

Fine particles in micrograms per cubic meter, ozone in parts per billion as an 8-hour average. The index for each hour is EPA’s: the ozone figure is already the 8-hour average the ozone index is defined on, and the particle figure is run through EPA’s NowCast, which is how an hourly PM2.5 concentration becomes an index.

Smoke

NOAA’s Hazard Mapping System analysts drew light smoke over Jasonville in satellite imagery today (Mon, 11:00 AM EDT to Mon, 1:00 PM EDT). That is smoke seen from above; it is not always smoke at ground level.

NOAA’s model forecasts near-surface smoke peaking at 1.1 µg/m³ around Mon, 12:00 AM EDT.

Category descriptions are the Environmental Protection Agency’s own.

What these numbers are. An index beside a monitor’s name is a measurement, published hourly by AirNow and preliminary until the operating agency certifies it. A category for today or tomorrow is a state or local agency forecaster’s own forecast for a reporting area. An hourly index is NOAA’s air quality model on a five-kilometer grid, not a reading from any instrument. Where a town has no monitor within reach, only the model figures appear, and the page says so.
