Morning cloud cover has finally cleared out across most of the Triad this afternoon, with enough solar radiation making it through the cloud deck to elevate air quality levels into the upper Code GREEN range. A chance of an isolated shower can't be ruled out into the early evening, but skies should generally remain precipitation free until a cold front moves through overnight that may produce some isolated showers and storms prior to sunrise. Drier air infiltrates the Triad tomorrow to bring much more pleasant conditions to the region, with temperatures remaining near normal for this time of year. Lower dewpoints and sunny skies will likely be countered by northwesterly winds generating enough low-level wind dispersion to prevent ozone levels from rising out of the upper Code GREEN range. With the typical increase in work week emissions beginning Monday, increased pollution production in addition to a favorable environment for ozone production should lead to air quality levels reaching Code YELLOW for Monday and Tuesday.
