Synopsis and Discussion
Following the storms yesterday and a backdoor front sagging southward across the Triad today, AQI readings are in the upper Code Green range. A largely humid air mass will remain in place and some afternoon storms are possible tomorrow and Friday, bringing with them associated debris clouds that will help limit ozone production. A backdoor front looks to sweep through on Saturday, promoting continued Code Green ozone concentrations. Particle pollution is expected to creep back upward into the lower Code Yellow range by Friday. Despite the backdoor front passing through on Saturday, forecast trajectories indicate our air will be arriving from the Great Lakes region where there continues to be some light smoke from the fires in the Pacific Northwest. Enough of that smoke may make it here behind the front to maintain lower Code Yellow particle pollution levels. (Greg Perrotte / perrotgt@forsyth.cc)
