Synopsis and Discussion

A slightly cleaner air mass has filtered into the region, Thursday, resulting in upper code GREEN AQI levels. High pressure will settle, overhead, Friday, leading to sunny skies, warm temperatures, and light winds. These ingredients will lead to more air mass stagnation and a return to MODERATE AQI readings, Friday. The ridge will weaken and slide east, Saturday, allowing a disturbance and cold front to approach the state, from the west, later Saturday into Sunday. Moisture and instability will increase, ahead and along the front, later Saturday and all day Sunday, resulting in increased clouds, showers, and thunderstorms. While ozone values may be lower and code GREEN, Saturday, with the increased moisture, particle pollution looks to remain code YELLOW. Particle pollution can be expected to join ozone in the code GREEN category, Sunday (GENTRY).
