OZONE ACTION DAY IN SOUTHEASTERN AND WESTERN MICHIGAN FOR SUNDAY....

OZONE ACTION! FORECAST DISCUSSION

This morning's satellite and radar show patchy cloud cover along with some 
scattered thundershowers over portions of the Northern Great Lakes. The 
thicker morning cloud cover should give way to party sunny skies as the day 
progresses, however. The Southern great lakes are experiencing mostly sunny 
skies, which should continue throughout the day under the influence of the 
building high pressure ridge. Temperatures should push close to the 80 
degree mark today with daily maximums reaching the lower 80's in many 
areas. South to southwest winds will be light (5 to 10 mph).

Winds will continue to be south to southwesterly on the backside of the 
high pressure ridge on Sunday. In addition, skies should be partly to 
mostly sunny which will put max temperatures in the low to mid 80's 
throughout the area. An approaching frontal boundary on Monday could 
increase cloudiness on Monday and give the area the chance for rain late 
Monday or early Tuesday.

CONCLUSION

Building ozone concentrations Friday and Saturday along with forecasted 
temperatures reaching the mid 80's on Sunday, warrants concern for 
unhealthy (for sensitive groups) levels of ozone. Therefore, the Michigan 
Department of Environmental Quality is issuing an Ozone Action Day! for all 
participating Michigan counties for Sunday, June 9th. Concern for continued 
unhealthy levels on Monday will require additional monitoring of the 
situation. This forecast will be updated on Sunday, June 9th.

Forecast updated on Saturday, June 8th
