Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels are rising into the YELLOW range as the temperatures increase and the winds come out of the southwest. High pressure will continue to dominate our weather as it slowly creeps east. It's position relative to the Triad will slowly cause trajectories to be a little more from off the ocean as it continues to move east. This will cause AQI levels to trend downward as humidity levels respond to this more maritime flow. The return of work week traffic Monday should support a slight increase but levels should hold in the YELLOW range for the next few days. Please continue to stay tuned for updates to the forecast as they are needed. (Bodenhamer)
