U.S. Air Quality

Good Morning Baltimore….

Spring is exactly a week away but we're experiencing summer like weather in Maryland. Temperatures are forecasted to reach the low 80s due to a "Bermuda high", which is bringing warm air to the region (see weathernet.com and capitalweather.com). A cold frontal system is headed our way and warm temperatures won't last long (enjoy your day!). Morning webcam images from Washington D.C (8:45am) and UMBC (9:00am) show foggy/hazy conditions. Air quality levels are currently in the "good" range (PM2.5 < 15.0 ug/m3) but are expected to become “moderate” (code yellow) (refer to air-watch.net).
