Synopsis and Discussion

Unsettled weather continues across the Triad on Wednesday with partly cloudy skies through mid-day and another chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms through the evening. This pattern is expected to slowly change as the weekend approaches with more stable conditions developing and much warmer temperatures expected. Sunny skies and temps near 90 are expected by Saturday, which will bring the first potential for high AQI levels in the area. For now, reduced ozone precursor emissions appear likely to keep levels YELLOW, but as the event unfolds, higher readings may be forecast. Updates for outdoor activity will occur through the weekend, so stay informed of potentially unhealthy air quality levels before heading out. (REAGAN)
