Synopsis and Discussion

High pressure, over the region, Tuesday, continues to provide a relatively clean air mass to the Triad. AQI readings will hover in the upper code GREEN to low code YELLOW range, through the day, Tuesday. As high pressure begins to weaken, Wednesday, the air mass will become more stagnant, for one day. As a result, ozone and particle pollution will jump back to the MODERATE category, Wednesday. Moisture and instability will return in earnest, Thursday and Friday, leading to increased chances of showers and thunderstorms both days. With this in mind, expect the air quality to improve back to code GREEN levels (GENTRY; gentrycd@forsyth.cc).
