AQI Forecast
Note: Hover over datapoints on the graph for more information.
Ozone and particle pollution concentrations have been gradually accumulating over the Triad today, elevating AQI to upper Code GREEN. High pressure ridging will keep the southeastern United States under an anomalously warm and dry air mass that will continue to support pollution production/accumulations over the next several days. Total daylight hours continues its steady decrease this part of mid-October, providing a shorter range of potentially high ozone concentration hours in the afternoons. With that said, ozone AQI should still reach low to middle Code YELLOW through the rest of the week. Particle pollution will also accumulate/increase during the same period into the low/middle Code YELLOW range and will not be limited like ozone is to decreasing daylight hours. (Payne)
