Synopsis and Discussion
Air quality readings are mid code YELLOW, Sunday, throughout the Triad. High pressure will dominate the weather through the upcoming week providing sunny skies, warm to hot temperatures, and lower humidity. These are the ideal ingredients for higher ozone production; therefore, ozone is expected to climb into the upper code YELLOW category, Monday and Tuesday. Particle pollution will also be code YELLOW both days, but lower. Continued sunny skies, Wednesday, temperatures near 90, and lower humidity, may allow for ozone to reach code ORANGE. Code ORANGE is Unhealthy for Sensitive groups, meaning those with respiratory and/or heart issues should limit their outdoor exertion on Wednesday. Stay tuned to the next Daily Air Quality forecast on Monday afternoon for updates to this potential poor air quality episode (GENTRY). *** Due to increased wildfire risk and severe drought across most of the state, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits statewide. ***
