Synopsis and Discussion
A wet pattern continues to unfold today, keeping AQI well within the Code GREEN range across the Triad. Some sun may peek through the cloud deck this afternoon, but ozone and particle pollution production should be minimal and AQI should remain Code GREEN overnight. Another upper level disturbance riding along the periphery of the upper level ridge should bring the Triad another shot of scatter showers/storms on Monday to keep AQI Code GREEN. The upper level ridge begins to strengthen over the Triad on Tuesday and Wednesday, allowing warm air advection to elevate high temperatures. This should allow ozone and particle pollution production to increase through the period, with low Code YELLOW AQI expected by Wednesday. It is possible AQI may rise higher than anticipated, but at this time the increase in low-level moisture should trigger a slight chance of showers/storms each day to dampen pollution production.
