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 Andover right now. All Ohio warnings.

The forecaster’s discussion

Written by Eastgate Regional Council of Governments for Youngstown and filed with AirNow.

Sunday, September 20: As a cold front gradually advances southward through the Buckeye State, northerly winds will disperse pollutants. Furthermore, rain showers and cloudy skies will reduce ozone formation, leading to Good AQI levels. Monday, September 21 through Wednesday, September 23: As the departing front stalls just to the south, clouds, rain showers, and cool temperatures will limit ozone production in the Youngstown-Warren region. Furthermore, northeasterly to easterly winds throughout much of the period will disperse pollutants and keep the atmosphere well mixed, yielding Good AQI levels on all three days. Thursday and Friday, increasing sunshine will aid ozone formation in Youngstown-Warren. However, surface high pressure to the north will produce continued northeasterly winds, dispersing pollutants and leading to Good AQI levels on both days.

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.

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.
