Synopsis and Discussion
Lower Code Yellow particle pollution concentrations are being observed across the Triad while ozone readings hover a bit lower in the upper Code Green range. The mid-level ridge that is giving us high temperatures in the mid 80s will be pushed offshore as a trough digs in this weekend. An associated cold front will be slow to sweep through and decent rain chances are on tap for Saturday although the actual frontal passage may hold off until Saturday night or even Sunday morning. Ozone readings are Code Green over the upstream corridor and with periods of clouds, showers, and storms expected, Code Green readings will persist through the first half of the weekend. Particle pollution is a bit trickier and readings will likely be very close to the Code Green/Yellow threshold. Over much of South Carolina where our air will be coming from, readings are Code Green. With forecast trajectories becoming a bit longer for Friday and Saturday and being sourced from near the Atlantic coastline, daily particle pollution averages are expected to decrease to the upper Code Green range.
