The forecaster’s discussion

Written by Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection for Williamsport and filed with AirNow.

Current Conditions at 3 p.m. EDT this Thursday afternoon: Mostly sunny skies across the area on a cool north wind. Very good air quality continues. The main forecast issue will be how far west precipitation gets, especially late Saturday and Saturday night due to a coastal low moving westward. Here are the forecast details: *** Friday’s forecast: Breezy north to northeast winds will continue to bring clean air in, and thus good air quality Friday. Highs will reach near 70. *** Extended forecast: More clouds move in Saturday, with showers possible, especially during the afternoon and nighttime. Showers may linger into Sunday as well with low pressure not too far to the east. Clouds may break for some sunshine Monday with a north to northwest breeze. Good air quality continues through the weekend.---McAuliffe

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.
