Thursday, December 4: Northerly to northwesterly winds will aid dispersion during the afternoon. However, light evening winds will allow pollutants to accumulate, and carryover from the overnight hours will keep particle concentrations elevated through the morning hours. Therefore, AQI levels will be low-Moderate. Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6: As a cold front gradually moves across the state, southwesterly to west-southwesterly winds will transport regional pollutants into central Ohio. In addition, cold temperatures each morning will produce an inversion, trapping pollutants at the surface. Thus, AQI levels will remain low-Moderate on both days. Sunday, calm to light southeasterly winds early in the day will allow pollutants to build up in central Ohio. By the afternoon and evening, winds will shift to westerly to northwesterly, aiding dispersion. Therefore, AQI levels will remain low-Moderate. Monday, surface high pressure over the Great Lakes will produce northwesterly winds, which will carry cleaner air into the Columbus region. Thus, AQI levels will improve to Good. Tuesday, as the next cold front traverses the Columbus region, atmospheric mixing will increase. Furthermore, moderate southerly winds will enhance dispersion. As a result, AQI levels will remain Good.
