Including the cities of Yuma and Fortuna Foothills
802 AM MST Fri May 3 2024
...PM-10 HIGH POLLUTION ADVISORY FOR THE YUMA AREA SUNDAY...
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has issued a
PM-10 High Pollution Advisory for the Yuma area on Sunday.
An episode of strong and gusty winds is forecast to generate
widespread blowing dust that may result in local PM-10
concentrations that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects
increase as air quality deteriorates.
Coarse particulate matter - also known as PM-10 - is an air
contaminant that can aggravate heart and lung disease conditions,
especially in older adults, children, and those with asthma. A
decrease in physical activity is recommended.
Consolidate your travel, stabilize loose soils, slow down or avoid
travel on dirt roads, reduce or eliminate fireplace use, and avoid
using gas-powered lawn equipment.
For details on this High Pollution Advisory, visit the ADEQ internet
site at www.azdeq.gov/forecast/yuma or call 602-771-2300.

This hazardous weather outlook is for eastern Utah and western
Colorado.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
A few scattered showers and storms are possible this afternoon
and evening along the central and southern Continental Divide
mountains. Gusty winds and lightning are the main risks.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday
Very strong winds are likely on Sunday ahead of an approaching
strong low pressure system. Max gusts upwards of 65 mph are
forecast in the valleys with gusts up to 80 mph forecast in the
mountains. A High Wind Watch remains in effect from Sunday morning
through Sunday evening.
The strong low pressure system and its attendant cold front will
bring widespread precipitation and much cooler temperatures as it
moves through Sunday night into Monday. There is the increasing
potential for accumulating snow in the mountains, particularly in
the central and northern Colorado mountains where 6 inches or more
of snow is possible. In the wake of the storm, cool and unsettled
weather likely persists through most of next week.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed.
