Synopsis and Discussion
Ozone readings are hovering in the upper Code Green range today while particle pollution levels are low and Code Green. Drought conditions will continue to deteriorate this week with mainly sunny weather on tap for the balance of the workweek. We might finally begin to see some increased rain chances this weekend that could offer some relief. The North Carolina Forest Service maintains a statewide ban on open burning until further notice and please note that all burning permits have been cancelled as a result. With transient high pressure drifting overhead and offshore through midweek and a dry air mass in place, ozone production is expected to be on the increase and Code Yellow concentrations are anticipated for the next couple of days. Particle pollution is a bit trickier since readings are largely low across the Southeast. There are some fires active across the region however and with light winds associated with the aforementioned high pressure, some buildup is expected. Moderate particle pollution levels are possible on Wednesday. (Greg Perrotte / perrotgt@forsyth.cc)
