Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels are in the YELLOW range today as prefrontal, southwest winds allow a buildup of pollution in the Triad. This will change for Thursday as a mostly dry cold front slides through the region overnight. This will cause cooler air to move into the area as northerly winds fill in behind the front. AQI readings will improve and return to the GREEN range for Thursday but then quickly respond to the warming temperature trend heading into the weekend. High temperatures should reach into the low 90s by Sunday. AQI readings will increase back into the YELLOW range Friday and will have to be closely monitored as the weekend progresses. Stay tuned for updates. (Bodenhamer)
