Synopsis and Discussion
Fine particle concentrations are hovering near the Code Green/Yellow threshold on Sunday while ozone is much lower in the mid Code Green range. Unsettled weather is on tap through midweek with storm chances each day. This will help keep ozone in check and readings are expected to top out in the lower Code Yellow range through Wednesday. Model guidance is now indicating that the backdoor front discussed over the past couple forecast cycles is likely to stay in VA, holding the smoke north of our area. Even if the front does sneak a bit farther south than expected, it would likely retreat northward quite quickly. So there is the potential to notice a few hours with some extra haze tomorrow, but particle pollution should remain in the mid Code Yellow range or lower. As the front retreats, low Code Yellow particle pollution is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday out ahead of another front that will sweep through on Wednesday night.
