Triad Air Quality

Triad Forecast

Synopsis and Discussion

The vertical mixing of the boundary layer has not lowered particle pollution levels as anticipated today, allowing air quality AQI to remain Code YELLOW for Sunday. Dry high pressure will keep skies relatively clear and dry the rest of today, though an increase in clouds and low-level fog is anticipated overnight and into tomorrow morning. High pressure will slide offshore on Monday to allow for a prolonged warming trend over the next couple of days that should keep low temperatures above freezing and high temperatures above normal for this time of year. With that said, persistent southwest flow will recirculate elevated particle pollution levels from the south and keep air quality AQI in the low to middle Code YELLOW range through mid-week. (Payne)
