Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels are in the YELLOW range as winds are out of the northeast and temperatures push into the low 90s. Again, firework celebrations for the 4th of July (Friday) will cause localized peaks of Particle Pollution so be advised if you are sensitive to those conditions. Winds will shift around to the east later tonight as a compact low begins to develop off the Georgia/SC coast. This should feed the Triad with easterly winds through Monday and could help improve AQI readings while producing a maritime flow pattern. A chance for storms should increase for Sunday and Monday but only be in the 30% range. Expect AQI levels to just hold in the low YELLOW range for the weekend as warm weather continues despite the maritime flow. (Bodenhamer)
