Ozone readings expected to be GOOD through spring of 2025. Daily forecast is for fine particles.

A nice rare mild day on tap for Monday with PM 2.5 hanging in the low moderate range around PVD, with some Atlantic air keeping the southern half of the state GOOD. A cold front sweeps through on Tuesday, with a shift back to cold, dry, breezy, and sunny weather, with GOOD air quality. NW flow 10-15 mph, with highs near 40F. High pressure builds Wednesday, with lighter NW winds, and highs only near freezing. Fine particles do creep up to upper GOOD late day. A strong coastal low will clean things out on Thursday with SE flow, marine air, rain, and temperatures climbing back to the 40s.
