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 Landenberg right now. All Pennsylvania warnings.

The forecaster’s discussion

Written by Delaware Dept. of Natural Resources and Environment for Wilmington Area and filed with AirNow.

Sunday, September 20: As a cold front approaches from the northwest, south-southwesterly winds will gradually transport regional pollutants into Delaware. However, increasing clouds and scattered rain showers will limit ozone production. Furthermore, pollutant carryover from the previous day will be low. Therefore, AQI levels are anticipated to remain Good for ozone and PM2.5. Monday and Tuesday, as strong surface high pressure builds to the north, moderate and gusty northeasterly winds will develop, ushering a cleaner, cooler air mass into the First State. Additionally, clouds and rain showers will continue to inhibit ozone formation. Thus, AQI levels are anticipated to be Good for ozone and PM2.5 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.

Smoke

NOAA’s analysts have not drawn smoke over Landenberg 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.
