Alert: Ozone High Pollution Advisory in effect for Saturday ...through next Tuesday
========================================================================
========================================================================
One thing we will be closely watching as high pressure set-up northwest of Arizona is the possibility of smoke from wildfires wrapping around the high and into Arizona this weekend into the first part of next week. While not expecting high levels of PM-2.5 (smoke) at the surface in Phoenix, the presence of smoke higher up in the atmosphere can still result in an increase in ozone compared to how high it would otherwise be, as the smoke modified air mass can mix down to the surface.
Given high pressure over the region, resulting in fairly light winds at the surface, expecting ozone to rise above the federal health standard today, and with not much of a pattern change expected, that trend is forecast to continue through the first part of next week.

As a result, an Ozone High Pollution Advisory will be in effect today through Sunday, with an Ozone High Pollution Watch in effect Monday and Tuesday.
