Synopsis and Discussion

Clouds and a few showers have moved into the Triad, Monday, behind a cold front, which has settled to the south of the region. Ozone and particle pollution values are lower and code GREEN, Monday. Sunny skies will return, Tuesday, along with warmer temperatures, lower humidity, and lighter winds. These weather ingredients will help to push ozone back to low code YELLOW, Tuesday, while particle pollution remains code GREEN. Another disturbance will swing across the state, later Wednesday evening. Ahead of the system, continued favorable weather for ozone production will lead to low code YELLOW ozone. Particle pollution is forecast to climb to upper code GREEN, Wednesday. A much cooler, cleaner air mass will infiltrate the area, Thursday, leading to a return to code GREEN air quality (GENTRY).
