Synopsis and Discussion
A cold air wedge has kept skies cloudy throughout the day today, limiting solar radiation to keep ozone levels in the Code GREEN range. Particle pollution also remains Code GREEN, with surface winds from the northeast ushering in a cleaner air mass that has gradually lowered particulate matter concentrations. Skies should remain cloudy throughout most of the day tomorrow as the wedge front is expected to weaken and lift northward as a warm front. Ozone AQI should remain Code GREEN, but increasing winds from the south/southwest should elevate particle pollution levels to Code YELLOW on Tuesday. Upper-level zonal flow will help to sustain above average temperatures through the rest of the week as a Bermuda high pressure ridge develops offshore. With that said, favorable weather conditions will likely lead to regional agriculture burning throughout the southeast, which will likely enhance ozone and particle pollution concentrations and keep air quality AQI in the low to middle Code YELLOW range through the end of the week.
