Synopsis and Discussion

AQI readings are Code Green across the Triad on Saturday as breezy conditions transport a clean air mass into the area. Increasing particle pollution levels will be the trend for the balance of the forecast period as surface high pressure drifts southeastward out of the Great Lakes region and off the Mid-Atlantic coast. As wind speeds decrease and conditions become conducive for the formation of strong nocturnal temperature inversions, particle pollution levels will increase to the lower and perhaps middle Code Yellow range in some places on Monday and Tuesday.
