Your 7 Day Hill Country Weather Forecast | Saturday October 26

SATURDAY 10/26/2019
Light winds, warm temperatures, abundant afternoon sunshine, and increasing incoming background levels could be enough for ozone to reach the upper end of the “Good” range (perhaps with an isolated low “Moderate” or two) in parts of the Laredo area, with highest concentrations in the afternoon and early evening.

Light winds and limited vertical mixing could allow urban particulate matter to build up over portions of far West Texas, possibly raising the daily PM2.5 and PM10 AQIs to the lower to middle end of the “Moderate” range in parts of the El Paso area, with highest concentrations in the morning and evening.

Should seasonal burning across the Southeast U.S. continue, the resulting light residual smoke may continue over portions of East Texas, though the intensity and duration of the light patchy smoke is not expected to be enough to raise the daily PM2.5 AQI beyond the upper end of the “Good” range through most of the affected region, which primarily includes parts of the Beaumont-Port Arthur area.

Otherwise and elsewhere in the state, moderate winds, mild temperatures, and/or lower incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the “Good” range in most spots.

SUNDAY 10/27/2019
Light to moderate winds, warming temperatures, and abundant afternoon sunshine could be enough for ozone to reach the lower to middle end of the “Moderate” range in parts of the San Antonio area and the upper end of the “Good” range (perhaps with an isolated low “Moderate” or two) in parts of the Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Houston areas, with highest concentrations in the afternoon and early evening.

Light winds and limited vertical mixing could allow elevated urban particulate matter to linger over portions of far West Texas, possibly raising the daily PM2.5 AQI to the lower to middle end of the “Moderate” range in parts of the El Paso area, with highest concentrations in the morning.

Should seasonal burning across the Southeast U.S. continue, the resulting light residual smoke may continue over portions of East Texas while beginning to expand into portions of North Central and Southeast Texas. Overall, depending on the coverage and intensity of the building smoke, the daily PM2.5 AQI is forecast to reach the middle to upper end of the “Moderate” range in parts of the Beaumont-Port Arthur area; the lower to middle end of the “Moderate” range in parts of the Houston and Tyler-Longview areas; and the upper end of the “Good” range (perhaps with an isolated low “Moderate” or two) in parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth and Waco-Killeen areas.

Otherwise and elsewhere in the state, moderate to strong winds, cold temperatures, and/or lower incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the “Good” range in most spots.

MONDAY 10/28/2019
Light winds, warm temperatures, and abundant afternoon sunshine could be enough for ozone to reach the upper end of the “Good” range (perhaps with an isolated low “Moderate” or two) in parts of the Houston area, with highest concentrations in the afternoon and early evening.

Should seasonal burning across the Southeast U.S. continue, the resulting light residual smoke may continue over portions of East, Southeast, and North Central Texas at varying intensities. Overall, depending on the coverage and intensity of the smoke, the daily PM2.5 AQI is forecast to reach the middle to upper end of the “Moderate” range in parts of the Beaumont-Port Arthur and Tyler-Longview areas and the lower to middle end of the “Moderate” range in parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Waco-Killeen areas.

Elsewhere in the state, moderate to strong winds, cold temperatures, and/or lower incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the “Good” range in most spots.
