Discussion

Overall mild weather conditions are expected this week, with high temperatures hovering in the upper 70s or low 80s each day, and skies remaining sunny or mostly sunny. Winds will also stay rather light, with maybe some light breezes on a couple of mornings (today and Thursday). We'll have to wait until the weekend for a more significant change in the weather pattern.

As for PM10 (dust), PM10 will be mostly locally driven this week. As typical, highest levels of either pollutant are expected to occur in the mornings, with a secondary period in the evening.

For now, the dust risk is Low each day. But, we'll watch for any changes in trends throughout the week.

Check back tomorrow morning for the next dust risk update.
