Forecast Discussion
Friday 01/17/2020Moderate to strong winds, warm to cool temperatures, heavy cloud cover with precipitation, and/or low incoming background levels behind the departing front should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots statewide.
Saturday 01/18/2020
Very light amounts of suspended blowing dust possibly generated the previous day over the Southwest U.S. could be transported into portions of the South Plains and Permian Basin in the early morning hours before dissipating. The duration and intensity of the potential suspended dust however is not expected to be enough to raise the daily PM10 AQI beyond the "Good" range throughout most of the impacted region, which includes parts of the Lubbock and Midland-Odessa areas.
Otherwise, moderate winds, cool to cold temperatures, heavy cloud cover with precipitation, and/or low incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots statewide.
Sunday 01/19/2020 Outlook
Moderate winds, cool to cold temperatures, dissipating cloud cover with precipitation, and/or low incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots statewide.
Monday 01/20/2020 Outlook
Moderate winds, cool to cold temperatures, and/or low incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots statewide.
Tuesday 01/21/2020 Extended Outlook
Moderate to strong winds, cool to cold temperatures, increasing cloud cover with scattered precipitation, and/or low incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots statewide.
