Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels are improving this afternoon but will end up holding in the lower YELLOW range due to elevated readings this morning. Rain will be sliding east as this low pressure system slips off the east coast and departs our region. Winds will be shifting to the west Friday afternoon as another low develops and moves through the Ohio Valley region. Sunny skies for the afternoon hours of the day and a return of particle pollution should be enough to keep AQI readings in the YELLOW range for Friday. Chances for more rain Saturday from this second low will do little to improve air quality as AQI levels hold in the YELLOW range through the weekend. (Bodenhamer)
