Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels remain in the GREEN range but have slowly increased despite the cool northerly winds and clear skies. The colder temperatures and lighter wind speeds Friday night will allow a stronger inversion setup at the surface, which will lead to low YELLOW AQI readings for Saturday. High pressure will continue to cover much of the eastern US as it drifts south. This air mass will shift winds to the east and keep highs in the 60s and lows near the 40 degree mark. A low will push into the region Monday and start a fairly wet pattern for most of the week. Expect AQI readings to be in the YELLOW range through Monday but then improve as the week progresses.
