Synopsis and Discussion
The statewide open burning ban issued by the NC Forest Service remains in effect until further notice. Ozone concentrations are in the upper Code Yellow range while particle pollution levels are hovering in the lower Code Yellow range. The influence of surface high pressure will begin to weaken tomorrow and with lower weekend emissions, ozone readings are expected to decrease to the mid Code Yellow range. At the same time, a slug of denser smoke from wildfires to our southwest will be moving northeastward across the Carolinas. The bulk of the smoke looks to miss the Triad to the southeast but particle pollution concentrations in the mid Code Yellow range are certainly possible. A weak boundary will be propelled through the area Saturday night, finally ushering in some much cleaner air with Code Green AQI readings returning for Sunday and Monday.
