Action Day?: No
Temperature: Mid 60s
Short-Term Discussion: Cloudy, cool with left over showers to start out Wednesday morning. Any rain should eventually taper off during the day with temperatures slowly rising from the upper 50s in the morning to mid 60s by the afternoon. Easterly winds, rain and clouds should keep Wednesday’s ozone and fine-particulate concentrations in the code GREEN (good) range.
Extended: The frontal system that has been lingering over the region will begin to lift out over the next several days. Warm and muggy temperatures will eventually return though this will be tempered by the chance of thunderstorms. Another cool front will cross the region later this weekend bringing another opportunity for rain before cooler and drier air filters in for Sunday and Monday. Expect ozone and fine-particulate concentrations to remain mainly in the good range for the next day or so though concentrations could reach moderate levels by Friday.
