Synopsis and Discussion

Particle pollution levels are elevated and upper code YELLOW, Friday, as Canadian wildfire smoke settles across the region. This smoke is circulating around high pressure, located over the NE US. Levels will gradually decrease through the weekend as the high finally loosens its grip on the region. Particle pollution will still remain well within the code YELLOW range Saturday and Sunday. By Monday, particle pollution may drop back to low code YELLOW or even upper code GREEN. Ozone will remain code GREEN each day but begin to climb by Monday, as a warmer, sunnier weather patter returns (GENTRY).
