Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels are in the GREEN range Monday afternoon as temperatures soar into the low 90s and dewpoints remain high. This hot, humid pattern will continue as high-pressure slides over the entire southeastern US. Winds will remain out of the north as chances for thunderstorms hold in the 20-40% range through Wednesday. Stagnation should increase for Tuesday and help allow AQI readings to just reach into the low YELLOW range. Air quality should hold in the lower YELLOW range through mid-week as a cold front starts to slide towards the Triad by Friday. This should help produce cooler weather for the weekend and a much-needed break from the heat and humidity. (Bodenhamer)
