High pressure, centered over the NE US, continues to control the weather across the Triad, Thursday. Ozone will top out in the upper code GREEN category along with particle pollution. This ridge will weaken through the forecast period allowing for decreasing winds, warming temperatures, and increasing air mass stagnantion. As a result, ozone and particle pollution are expected to reach the MODERATE category Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (GENTRY). *** Due to increased wildfire risk and severe drought across most of the state, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits statewide. ***
