Great air quality all across the US, unless you dislike snow

The particulate air quality and ozone air quality is in the good range all across the US. In the east, the country is largely cloud covered with rain in the northeast. In Kansas and Oklahoma, heavy snow has fallen from the system which is drawing moisture up from the Gulf (right).

Weekly summary: The week started out with widespread elevated PM levels throughout the midwest from fires. As precipitation moved up through Texas, the burning has decreased and the snow in OK and KS has suppressed smoke emissions. By Saturday, the country has good air quality and it is very clear in the west.
