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 Morrice right now. All Michigan warnings.

The forecaster’s discussion

Written by Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy for Lansing and filed with AirNow.

Dry weather returns today, Monday, as high pressure settles north of Lake Superior, setting up a cooler, quiet week. Winds begin out of the northeast and shift to the east mid week. High temperatures in the low to mid 60s, will warm toward 70 late in the workweek. Lows drop into the 30s in northern areas and the 40s elsewhere. Air quality will stay mostly in the Good range this week. Ozone remains low thanks to cooler temperatures and reduced daylight. Fine particulates stay at Good levels with northeast to east winds, though southern areas may briefly reach low Moderate later in the week.

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 analysts have not drawn smoke over Morrice in satellite imagery today.

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.
