Synopsis and Discussion

Monday's rainfall and cloud cover, Tuesday, has helped to keep the air quality cleaner and code GREEN. A front will pass through the Triad, early Wednesday, helping to usher in a drier air mass for Wednesday and Thursday. The lower humidity will aid in an increase in ozone production and a return to MODERATE ozone levels, Wednesday and Thursday. Additionally, small levels of Canadian wildfire smoke, will move into the state, behind the front, leading to a slight uptick in particle pollution to code YELLOW, Wednesday and Thursday. Humidity will increase, Friday, along with the chance of afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms. Ozone and particle pollution may decrease, slightly, Friday, but remain just in the low code YELLOW category (GENTRY).
