Detailed Forecast Discussion |
Wednesday, August 12: Surface high pressure over Lake Michigan will produce moderate northerly winds across the Mahoning Valley, ushering a clean and dry air mass into the area and resulting in Good AQI levels.\n\nThursday, August 13: Surface high pressure over eastern Michigan will produce light north-northeasterly winds, limiting the dispersion of pollutants. In addition, mostly sunny skies will enhance the formation of ozone, leading to Moderate AQI levels.\n\nFriday through Sunday, surface and upper-level high pressure over the northeastern U.S. will produce mostly sunny skies, warm temperatures, and light winds, enhancing the formation of ozone and limiting the dispersion of pollutants. As a result of these weather conditions, AQI levels will be high-Moderate in the Youngstown region on all three days. Monday, an approaching cold front will result in increasing cloudiness, limiting ozone formation. However, light southerly winds ahead of the front will transport moisture and particles into the region, keeping AQI levels high-Moderate. |
