Synopsis and Discussion

Today is the first day of ozone monitoring and forecasting season in North Carolina and readings are in the upper Code Green range. Particle pollution levels are higher in the lower Code Yellow range and unsettled weather tomorrow should promote good air quality to start the new workweek. Winds are expected to turn out of the southwest for the second half of Tuesday and Wednesday and this should lead to climbing particle pollution levels as seasonal prescribed burns continue across the Southeast. There will likely be enough cloud cover on Tuesday and Wednesday to keep ozone in check, along with the short daylight hours of early March. (Greg Perrotte / perrotgt@forsyth.cc)
