Triad Air Quality

Triad Forecast

Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels are currently hovering around the upper Code GREEN to low Code YELLOW range this afternoon, as particle pollution concentrations remain slightly elevated ahead of a slow-moving frontal boundary moving in from the north. The front is expected to remain nearly stationary across the state tonight and through the rest of the week, generating plenty of cloud cover to limit ozone production into the weekend. Particle pollution levels are expected to remain upper Code GREEN to low Code YELLOW through Friday, largely depending on the series of disturbances moving along the front from the west through the period. These disturbances will likely coincide with the increase in shower activity each day through Saturday and may limit particle pollution during more intense precipitation. Air quality levels will likely stay in the upper Code GREEN range on Saturday as the front finally moves out of the Triad to allow rain chances to dwindle. (Payne)
