Synopsis and Discussion

Particle pollution levels increased significantly overnight and into the day on Thursday to mid code YELLOW. The higher levels are in response to a strong inversion and minimal mixing during the day, due to cloud cover. Weak high pressure will remain over the region, through the forecast period. As the ridge remains over the SE US, overnight and early morning inversions will be commonplace each day. Additionally, winds will be light during the daylight hours, leading to minimal low level air mass mixing the stagnation. As a result, particle pollution will remain mid code YELLOW, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (GENTRY).
