Synopsis and Discussion
Particle pollution levels currently reside in the upper Code GREEN range this afternoon as dry high pressure continues to build over the Triad. This ridge of high pressure will remain in place overnight, allowing a decent temperature inversion to enhance particle pollution concentrations through tomorrow morning. Once boundary layer mixing kicks in after sunrise, low-level winds should generate wind dispersion to lower particle pollution levels during the day. With that said, the high particle pollution concentrations averaging with the lower concentrations during daylight hours will likely lead to the daily average rising to low Code YELLOW AQI. The same can be said for Wednesday as the Triad continues to remain under the high-pressure ridge, with high overnight particulate matter concentrations and lower daytime particulate matter concentrations combining for a low Code YELLOW AQI daily average. Thursday will likely be the last above normal temperature day as a colder air mass begins to infiltrate the Triad from the northwest. Will temporarily hold a low Code YELLOW for now, but cooler air rushing in earlier may lead to enough of a decrease in particle pollution to reach Code GREEN AQI by the evening. (Payne)
