Warmer air overriding surface high pressure has kept the Triad under mostly cloudy skies today, allowing particle pollution levels to remain in the upper Code GREEN range. Low-level winds are expected to gradually shift to southerly tomorrow as high pressure moves offshore, with particle pollution AQI expected to remain upper Code GREEN despite a slight chance of light showers. Temperatures remain above normal Wednesday with a slight chance of showers persisting through the day as the Triad finds itself situated in the weakness between two high pressure ridges, keeping AQI in the upper Code GREEN range. Rain chances decrease Thursday, but the lack of strong high pressure ridge pushing eastward should keep skies cloudy enough to allow AQI to remain Code GREEN for the Triad. (Payne)
