07/28/2014 Air Quality Report

Smoke Synopsis:
High pressure will linger over the area throughout the week.  Temperatures north of 100 are expected as humidity continues to drop. Expect light and variable winds with upslope/downslope diurnal pattern dominating.  Look for the fires to continue to be more active. Smoke will be visible coming from within the fire perimeters as interior areas continue to burn.  Look for smoke to settle into low-lying/valley areas early and lifting out as daytime temperatures increase.
