AQI Forecast
Note: Hover over datapoints on the graph for more information.
Air quality levels continue to be in the lower YELLOW range as brutal heat and humid conditions control the weather in the region. Highs in the mid to upper 90s and heat index values around triple digits are producing true summertime weather. The air quality, however, is just not ramping up in the same way due to the humidity and less than favorable trajectories. This unusual condition will continue Saturday but Sunday should spark better chances for widespread thunderstorms as a cold front slides through the Triad Sunday evening. A low could develop along a stalled out portion of the front in the deep south and keep thunderstorm chances high early next week. AQI levels should return to the GREEN range Sunday and Monday.
