Synopsis and Discussion
With rain persisting overnight and through this morning, particle pollution levels remain in the upper Code GREEN range today. A cold front will move through the Triad later this afternoon to usher in a drier air mass that will settle over the Triad tomorrow. Typically a change in air mass leads to lower AQI, but elevated particle pollution concentrations upstream in the Ohio Valley will be the main source for transport tomorrow and Thursday, likely leading to lower Code YELLOW AQI for the Triad. Increasing clouds on Thursday indicate an area of disturbed weather moving northward out of the Gulf of Mexico approaching the Carolinas. The setup appears to be similar as today, with moisture overriding drier and cooler air at the surface---leading to another day of a cold rain for the Triad on Friday. Particle pollution will likely reach a maximum early Friday, but the daily average will likely result in low Code YELLOW AQI even if widespread showers lower particle pollution concentrations by the evening.
