Cool, clean, high pressure, anchored over the NE US, controls the weather across the Triad, Wednesday. Particle pollution remains very low and code GREEN while ozone is pushing into the upper GREEN range. The ridge will weaken, Thursday and Friday, allowing for decreasing winds and warming temperatures. Ozone and particle pollution will also begin to increase from upper code GREEN, Thursday, to low code YELLOW, Friday. MODERATE AQI levels will continue into Saturday, as well (GENTRY). *** Due to increased wildfire risk and severe drought across most of the state, the N.C. Forest Service has issued a statewide ban on all open burning and has canceled all burning permits statewide. ***
