Synopsis and Discussion
Despite an abundance of sun, air quality levels currently reside in the upper Code GREEN range this afternoon as high pressure builds in from the northwest. Dewpoints continue to remain unpleasant, but weak high pressure moving over the Triad tomorrow will likely lead to a decrease in low-level moisture content. With light winds and mostly sunny skies expected, conditions should be ripe enough for decent ozone production to elevate air quality levels into the lower Code YELLOW range by the early afternoon. An approaching cold front on Thursday should quell any elevated concentrations of ozone and particulate matter as chances of showers and thunderstorms increase in the afternoon and evening hours. The boundary is expected to stall over the state on Friday, with mostly cloudy skies and likely chances of showers and thunderstorms leading to Code GREEN AQI. (Payne)
