AQI Forecast
Note: Hover over datapoints on the graph for more information.
A clean air mass will maintain GOOD air quality levels across the region today, Tuesday. Strong high pressure, dominating the eastern half of the United States, will control the weather pattern through Friday. This weather pattern strongly favors overnight and early morning temperature inversions which will temporarily trap emissions and cause brief spikes in particle pollution during the early hours of each day. Luckily, excellent atmospheric mixing during daylight hours will quickly disperse the pollution and keep overall daily particle pollution safely code GREEN Wednesday through Friday. Ozone levels will also remain low and consistently code GREEN throughout the entire forecast period (GENTRY; gentrycd@forsyth.cc).
