Triad Air Quality

Triad Forecast

Synopsis and Discussion

Marginally cleaner air is in place across the Triad today and AQI readings will hover around the Code Green/Yellow threshold through the rest of the day. A backdoor cold front will sweep through tonight, bringing with it a cleaner push of air that will last through a decent chunk of tomorrow before the front drifts back northward as a warm front. The more polluted air mass that will have been pushed to the south will stream back into the area on southerly flow that will remain in control through the first half of the weekend. Additionally, increasing cloud cover and rain chances will keep the lower atmosphere capped and Moderate particle pollution levels are anticipated through the end of the workweek and into the first half of the weekend. A more definitive change of air mass looks to finally arrive later this weekend. (Greg Perrotte / perrotgt@forsyth.cc)
