Measured, not modeled. AirNow observations are preliminary until the operating agency certifies them, which happens months later.

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's own forecast for Dallas-Fort Worth, written by a forecaster rather than read off a model. An action day has been declared.

NOAA’s air quality model could not be read for this point just now. It runs twice a day and covers the lower 48, Alaska and Hawaii.

NOAA’s Hazard Mapping System analysts drew light smoke over North Richland Hills in satellite imagery today (Tue, 8:00 AM CDT to Tue, 10:00 AM CDT). That is smoke seen from above; it is not always smoke at ground level.

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.
