Western AQ

Air quality conditions remain poor (code yellow-red; 16<PM2.5 –ug/m3<150) in California and other parts of the West (entire AQ map- EPA AIRNow). Light haze mixed with clouds is also present over the Western portion of the Gulf. The HMS analysis suggests that smoke may be a contributing factor. Also, several fires remain in the Southeast.
