The highest AQ index in Georgia (as of 18:00 EDT) is currently the Atlanta area. Ozone (OZONE) is measuring at 71 (Moderate). This means air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Over the next few days, the highest Ozone (OZONE) will be in the Atlanta area. It is forecasted to be Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, meaning members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is less likely to be affected.
A strong mid level ridge will begin a retrograde on Thursday as a cut off low is progged to pinwheel into central Florida. Hot conditions combined with some drier air filtering down from the north and east (from our not cool cool wedge) will favor a strong ozone response for mid September, perhaps enough to push into USG. PM will likely persist in the low-moderate range with little to drive it downwards in play. RG/MEC
