Triad Air Quality

Triad Forecast

Synopsis and Discussion

Breezy northwesterly winds behind a departing cold front have kept temperatures from rising higher than yesterday, resulting in AQI for ozone and particle pollution peaking in the middle to upper Code GREEN range. Cooler and drier air will continue to filter into the Triad overnight and through tomorrow, dropping air quality levels into the middle Code GREEN range. A reinforcing shot of colder air moves in from the north Tuesday evening, with little precipitation expected other than some increased cold cover. This should result in some of the coldest morning temperatures and lowest highs so far this fall season, with ozone and particle pollution remaining well within the Code GREEN range. Calm winds Wednesday night should lead to increased radiational cooling across the Triad, allowing for early morning frost potential in several Triad locations outside urban areas Thursday morning. Temperatures will begin to slowly rebound through the day Thursday, but should still remain cool enough to keep air quality levels Code GREEN. (Payne)
