Synopsis and Discussion

Gusty northeasterly winds and below normal temperatures have kept air quality levels well within the low to middle Code GREEN range this afternoon. North to northeasterly winds will persist over the next few days as the Triad will remain between an offshore low pressure system and high pressure ridging in from the north, allowing the air mass to have consistent turnover to prevent pooling of pollution concentrations. Even though temperatures are expected to reach normal by Tuesday and Wednesday, air quality levels should easily remain Code GREEN through mid-week. (Payne)
