Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels are pushing into the lower YELLOW range as southwest winds help high temperatures reach into the mid 60s, despite the increased cloud cover. Skies will remain mostly cloudy for Wednesday as southwest winds continue to feed the Triad with low YELLOW AQI readings. This current air mass will remain over the southeastern US and should keep most of the rain showers to our west and north through Thursday morning. Another weak, mostly dry, front will slide in from the west by Friday and help shift winds to the northwest ahead of another low. This low could bring much better chances for rain both Saturday and Sunday. This should also improve AQI levels for the weekend. (Bodenhamer)
