Triad Air Quality

Triad Forecast

Synopsis and Discussion

AQI readings are low and code GREEN on Thursday. Surface high pressure will drift eastward and overhead by Saturday. Light winds will not allow for much dispersion and fine particle concentrations are expected to build within the air mass, reaching the lower code YELLOW range by Saturday. Unsettled weather will return for the second half of the weekend. An overcast day is anticipated and this will reduce vertical mixing. The bulk of the rainfall is projected to arrive later in the day so particle pollution levels are expected to remain in the lower code YELLOW range. There is the possibility that daily averages net out lower and in the upper code GREEN range should the onset of rainfall be earlier in the day than currently expected. (Perrotte)
