Synopsis and Discussion
Low upstream pollution levels coupled with diffusive low-level winds have kept particle AQI in the middle Code GREEN range today as cold high pressure builds in from the west. This ridge of high pressure will continue to dominate the weather pattern over the Triad through the rest of the week, with mostly sunny and dry skies allowing temperatures to gradually rise to slightly above normal by Thursday and Friday. Gusty winds tomorrow should keep particle pollution Code GREEN into the new year, but low dewpoints may lead to potential fire danger. Conditions remain sunny and dry on Thursday with breezy westerly winds maintaining Code GREEN AQI. Clouds begin to increase late Thursday which may trap pollution particles underneath the cloud deck to enhance particulate matter concentrations and elevate air quality AQI to the upper Code GREEN range overnight Thursday through Friday.
