Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels continue to be in the GREEN range as high pressure covers the region sunny skies produce another beautiful day. Winds are out of the east and northeast as highs push into the mid 70s and AQI readings slowly drift upwards. This drift will continue as wind speeds fall off, allowing for more surface collection of pollutants. Expect AQI level to reach into the lower YELLOW range Wednesday and continue to slowly increase through the end of the week. Particle Pollution values will continue to hold in the lower YELLOW range until a low develops in the southern plains and slides through the Triad over the weekend and brings a good chance for rain Sunday evening.
