Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels continue to be in the YELLOW range as high pressure drifts east and winds hold out of the southwest. A cold front is approaching the state and will bring rain into the Triad this afternoon. This rain should stick around until the actual front itself, sweeps through the region Friday morning. AQI levels will remain YELLOW for tonight, despite the rain, until the front goes through and winds shift around to the northwest. Once the cooler, cleaner air pushes into the Triad, AQL levels will return to the GREEN range for Friday. High pressure will then drift east once again and allow AQI readings to return to the low YELLOW range Saturday. (Bodenhamer)
