Synopsis and Discussion
AQI readings are low and Code Green to round out the workweek. Surface high pressure will continue to build overhead this weekend before a dry cold front sweeps through on Monday. Conditions will be conducive for the formation of nocturnal temperature inversions that will help trap pollution near the surface. Additionally, lighter wind speeds during the daylight hours will reduce dispersion and fine particle concentrations are expected to increase to the lower Code Yellow range this weekend range as a result. Depending on the timing of the frontal passage, daily averages could net out in the Code Green range but enough hours of Code Yellow may be realized to allow for Moderate daily averages. Ozone is expected to hover in the upper Code Green range for the balance of the forecast period. (Perrotte)
