Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels remain high through the Triad Thursday afternoon and will end the day in the low ORANGE range. The combination of hurricane Earl moving off of the coast and an approaching cold front will provide stronger winds and better mixing Friday putting an end to the ALERT level ozone. AQI readings will return to code YELLOW Friday. Behind the front a much cleaner, cooler air mass will filter into the state leading to code GREEN values over the holiday weekend (GENTRY).
