Synopsis and Discussion

A colder air mass has begun to infiltrate the Triad from the west-northwest this afternoon, resulting in particle pollution levels to gradually fall the rest of the day and into the evening. Even though the daily average will likely remain Code YELLOW due to elevated particulate matter concentrations prior to sunrise, particle pollution AQI is expected to fall to low/middle Code GREEN by nightfall. Upper-level low pressure will remain nearly stationary over the northeastern United States tomorrow and through the weekend, helping to reinforce below normal temperatures through Sunday. Winds will remain fairly gusty out of the northwest each day through the weekend, with high potential for widespread freezes each morning. With that said, the continual influx of gusty winds should provide plenty of wind dispersion to keep particle pollution AQI well within the Code GREEN range through Sunday. (Payne)
