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 Wyoming right now. All Michigan warnings.

The forecaster’s discussion

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

Friday will likely be our lone dry day, following a mostly cloudy, drizzly work week and what looks to be a fairly wet weekend. The quasi-stationary front, to our south, which was responsible for most of the week’s gloomy weather, has been pushed further south, which will allow us to dry out during Friday. That dry period will be short-lived, however, as low pressure lifts into the Midwest, overnight. This will usher in an area of fairly widespread rain for Saturday. Additional showers are likely Saturday night into Sunday. High pressure builds back into northern Ontario during Sunday providing a shot of dry air that should discourage any lingering showers later in the day. Cool and mostly cloudy conditions should carry over into the early week as the stalled front remains active over the Ohio Valley. As for Air Quality, I expect ozone to remain the Good range, which is enforced by the lower sun angle, shorter days and cooler nights. Fine Particulates should also be mostly Good with a few scattered Moderates. EXTENDED FORECAST: Air Quality is expected to remain mostly Good to begin the upcoming work 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 Wyoming in satellite imagery today.

NOAA’s model forecasts no measurable smoke near the ground here over the next two days.

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.
