AQI Forecast
Note: Hover over datapoints on the graph for more information.
The air mass over the Triad today has remained very warm and moist, with partly cloudy skies and breezy southwesterly winds keeping ozone and particle pollution levels from rising out of the upper Code GREEN range. A cold front approaches the Triad from the northwest this evening and moves into the state early tomorrow morning before stalling out over the region the rest of the day. Increased cloud cover and likely scattered showers in proximity to the boundary will likely keep air quality levels Code GREEN for Wednesday. The frontal boundary is expected to sag a little south during the day on Thursday, allowing the cooler side of the front to settle into the Triad through Friday. Some elevated particle pollution currently observed in the Upper Midwest may make its way into the Triad behind this boundary to allow particle AQI to reach low Code YELLOW for Thursday and Friday.
