Triad Forecast

Synopsis and Discussion

Ozone concentrations are pushing into the upper Code Yellow range to start the new workweek while particle pollution hovers in the lower Code Yellow range. High pressure will continue to control our weather through midweek, providing hot temperatures, light winds, and plenty of sunshine that will be very conducive for ozone formation. Ozone averages are expected to net out in the upper Code Yellow range for the next few days, however, some areas may see a couple hours of lower Code Orange concentrations, especially tomorrow. Model guidance is indicating the threat of some cloudiness moving in during the late afternoon on Wednesday and this may help suppress ozone readings somewhat should the clouds materialize. Particle pollution is expected to remain toward the lower end of the Code Yellow range. A cold front will provide increasing rain chances on Thursday and allow AQI readings to fall back to the Code Green range. (Greg Perrotte perrotgt@forsyth.cc)
