Air quality forecast guidance is now available for the Central Plains! These forecasts, produced by the National Weather Service and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are designed to give state and local agencies critical real-time guidance for use in use in issuing air quality advisories and warnings to the public.
The ozone forecast guidance, found on the National Weather Service webpage at http://www.weather.gov/aq, represents the first step in an improved national air qualify forecast capability that will continue to grow over the next decade. Coverage will expand to the entire nation within five years. Once ozone forecasts are available throughout the U.S., the capability will be extended to include particulate matter forecasts, then cover longer time periods (day two and beyond) and eventually, additional pollutants. The maps are an experimental product of the Air Quality Forecast System by the National Weather Service. These products are intended to provide guidance to local and state air quality forecasters, and provide information for people at risk, but do not constitute an air quality warning or alert. Please refer to your current air quality forecast which is available at the EPA AIRNow web site www.epa.gov/airnow. |
