Synopsis and Discussion
Ozone production has increased, Friday, with sunny skies, warm temperatures, and lower humidity, across the Triad. As a result, ozone will climb back to low code YELLOW. Particle pollution values will be in upper GREEN to low code YELLOW range, as well. Low pressure will drop to a position to the west of the state Saturday through Monday, funneling increased moisture and, in turn, increased instability to the region. These conditions will help to alleviate ozone production and drop levels back to code GREEN, Saturday through Monday. Surface level smoke, currently to the south and west of the state, will also be pushed into the area along with the moisture. The smoke will help to keep particle pollution code YELLOW, Saturday. Particle pollution readings, Sunday and Monday will be dependent on the amount of showers and thunderstorms both days. As it appears now, the rainfall will be enough to drop particle pollution back to code GREEN, Sunday and Monday (GENTRY).
