Synopsis and Discussion

Particle pollution levels are currently hovering around the low Code YELLOW range today as a cold air wedge has trapped particles underneath the shallow cloud deck. The wedge is expected to eventually erode tomorrow as skies gradually clear by the afternoon/evening hours. However, elevated pollution concentrations to the west will likely infiltrate the Triad tomorrow to help sustain low Code YELLOW AQI. Temperatures are expected to rebound to near normal on Sunday ahead of an upper level disturbance that will dive in from the northwest by the evening. Skies should remain mostly sunny though much of the day before the cloud deck thickens ahead of the disturbance, with particle pollution levels likely to remain Code YELLOW. A reinforcing shot of colder air moves into the Triad on Monday, dropping air quality levels to Code GREEN. (Payne)
