Synopsis and Discussion

Particle pollution continues to remain very elevated across the Triad today, with air quality levels residing in the middle Code YELLOW range. Widespread agricultural burning across the southeastern United States remains the primary culprit and will likely remain that way as we head into the weekend. Offshore Bermuda high pressure has ushered in a warm and humid air mass, with unseasonably warm temperatures expected through the weekend. Increasing cloud cover and chances of showers/storms will likely limit ozone concentrations from rising out of the middle to upper Code GREEN range this weekend. However, the thickening cloud deck will likely trap particle pollution underneath to yield Code YELLOW AQI through Sunday. As chances of rain dwindle on Monday, air quality levels are expected to fall back to Code GREEN. (Payne)
