AQI Forecast
Note: Hover over datapoints on the graph for more information.
Temperatures remain above normal across the Triad today, as a dry high pressure-induced temperature inversion overnight kept particulate matter concentrations elevated into the morning. Particle pollution levels have since decreased through the daytime hours, but elevated concentrations to the south and west will likely reinforce higher concentrations this evening to sustain Code YELLOW AQI for today. Air quality levels will continue to remain Code YELLOW tomorrow and Thursday as an upper-level trough sharpens while digging in from the northwest, becoming a cut-off upper low by the end of the week. Wednesday and Thursday should remain above normal for temperatures, at least until the cold front moves through the Triad late Thursday. Once the front clears the Triad, gusty northwesterly winds should lower particle pollution levels to Code GREEN AQI through Friday as temperatures fall below normal. (Payne)
