AQI Forecast
Note: Hover over datapoints on the graph for more information.
Light smoke has drifted over the area today, raising fine particle concentrations to the lower Code Yellow range. Ozone production has increased in response to the sunshine, smoke, and less humid air, also reaching Moderate levels. The reprieve from the recent high humidity will be short lived with dew points increasing over the next three days. The return of more moisture will help limit ozone production to near the Code Green/Yellow threshold. The smoke over the area today will continue to drift westward but forecast trajectories indicate this air mass will reverse course and return to the area by Saturday. With no significant rain chances in the near term that would help cleanse the atmosphere, particle pollution is expected to hover in the lower Code Yellow range. – Greg Perrotte / perrotgt@forsyth.cc
