Triad Forecast

Synopsis and Discussion

Particle pollution remains well within the Code YELLOW range for AQI this afternoon, but levels should begin to fall once the cold front moves through the region. A chilly Arctic air mass builds into the Carolinas this evening, bringing the coldest temperatures observed so far this fall. Conditions on Monday are expected to be chilly and breezy, dropping particle pollution AQI into the low to middle Code GREEN range. A hard freeze is expected Monday night into Tuesday morning, effectively ending the growing season. Temperatures should begin to slowly moderate on Tuesday and into Wednesday as upper level flow begins to become more zonal, reaching near normal temperatures by Wednesday afternoon. Particle pollution will also begin to slowly accumulate, but should remain in the middle to upper Code GREEN range through mid-week. (Payne)
