Synopsis and Discussion
Air quality levels have returned to the YELLOW range as warmer air pushes into the Triad. Winds have shifted to out of the west as this air mass slowly drifts south and east, which has helped increase high temperatures into the mid 70s after a cool day on Thursday. Winds will be out of the southwest by Saturday and trigger higher AQI readings for the weekend. While Particle Pollution values will slowly rise over the next couple days, Ozone values could quickly respond to the upper 80 degree temperatures and low dewpoints. Right now expect AQI levels to end up in the upper YELLOW range for Saturday and Sunday. The return of the workweek emissions could be just enough to get close to the YELLOW/ORANGE border. Please stay tuned for updates to the forecast as they are needed. (Bodenhamer)
