Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality is improving as today’s unsettled weather begins to depart but daily averages for particle pollution will still net out in the lower Code Yellow range. The aforementioned cleaner air will continue to filter into the Triad tomorrow before transient surface high pressure moves offshore on Wednesday. With low-level flow turning out of the southwest, pockets of Code Yellow particle pollution readings are anticipated. Another cold front is slated to sweep through early on Thursday, providing another change of air mass with AQI readings falling back to the Code Green range once again.
