Synopsis and Discussion

A wide spread in particle pollution concentrations from the lower Code Green range to near the Code Green/Yellow threshold is being observed once again today while ozone is steady in the upper Code Green range. The main weather system of the next three days will be a cold front sweeping through on Sunday night, bringing with it the threat of a few showers and some breezy conditions. An uptick in particle pollution levels to the lower Code Yellow range is anticipated tomorrow, potentially lasting into Sunday. Daily averages on Sunday will likely be right near the Code Green/Yellow threshold and largely dependent on the timing of the front and how quickly cleaner air arrives in its wake. By Monday, a clean air mass will be filtering into the Triad. (Greg Perrotte / perrotgt@forsyth.cc)
