Synopsis and Discussion

Post-frontal cloud cover combined with a cleaner Canadian air mass moving in from the north have kept air quality levels within the lower Code GREEN range today. Cooler then normal temperatures and breezy northeasterly winds are expected to persist the next few days as the Triad will remain sandwiched between an offshore low pressure system and a surface high pressure ridge to the west. This surface setup will create plenty of wind dispersion that should prevent any significant pooling of pollution concentrations, leading to middle Code YELLOW AQI for both ozone and particle pollution through Tuesday.
