Synopsis and Discussion

AQI readings continue to hover near the Code Green/Yellow threshold on Thursday. Both ozone and particle pollution are expected to creep upward into the lower Code Yellow range to round out the workweek. A backdoor front looks to slide through on Saturday but there may be some light smoke behind it from the fires in the Pacific Northwest. This may help enhance ozone production enough for both pollutants to remain low Code Yellow. Sunny skies return on Sunday as winds turn back out of the south and Code Yellow AQI readings are expected to continue. (Greg Perrotte / perrotgt@forsyth.cc)
