Synopsis and Discussion
Chilly northwesterly winds continue to bring in a cleaner air mass while also generating plenty of wind dispersion to keep particle pollution levels in the low to middle Code GREEN range. Winds should continue to lighten overnight as the upper-level trough finally pushes offshore tomorrow, allowing for high pressure to build over the Triad. This ridge of high pressure is expected to persist through mid-week, allowing daytime temperatures to return to near to slightly above normal the next few days. Mornings will continue to be pretty chilly as winds remain calm overnight to allow for substantial radiational cooling. This cooling overnight will lead to strong temperature inversion that will likely trap particle pollution within the lower portion of the atmosphere and elevate particulate matter concentrations each day. With that said, expect particle pollution AQI to rise through the week, reaching upper Code GREEN by Tuesday and Wednesday. (Payne)
