The offshore Bermuda high pressure ridge continues to pump in warm and moist air from the south, keeping air quality levels well within the Code GREEN range for the Triad. This upper-level pattern will continue to hold through tomorrow, keeping skies partly sunny with periodic showers and storms moving through to hold ozone and particle pollution in the middle to upper Code GREEN range. The upper-level pattern breaks down on Thursday, allowing a backdoor cold front to push through the Triad and usher in a drier air mass through the day Thursday and Friday. With that said, ozone levels will likely rise into the upper Code GREEN range, with some afternoon hourly averages likely reaching low Code YELLOW, as a result of drier conditions that are more favorable to ozone production. Particle pollution will likely remain Code GREEN through the week. (Payne)
