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 Eddington right now. All Pennsylvania warnings.

The forecaster’s discussion

Written by New Jersey Dept. of Environmental Protection for Riverline and filed with AirNow.

9/18 - A cold front passes through the region early Friday morning ushering in a drier and cooler airmass. Levels of fine particulates remain low moderate statewide, while ozone remains in the good category. 9/19 - Good air quality is expected across New Jersey on Saturday due to partly sunny skies and an onshore flow. 9/20 - Rainy conditions are forecast for Sunday as low pressure moves into the region keeping air quality in the good category statewide. 9/21 - A chance of rain lingers into Monday. Cloudy conditions, cooler temperatures, and a breezy onshore flow will keep air quality good.

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 Eddington in satellite imagery today (Sun, 8:00 AM EDT to Sun, 11:00 AM EDT). That is smoke seen from above; it is not always smoke at ground level.

NOAA’s model forecasts near-surface smoke peaking at 0.3 µg/m³ around Sun, 9:00 PM 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.
