Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels remain Code GREEN today as a Bermuda high pressure ridge has ushered in a warm and humid air mass that has triggered scattered showers and isolated storms across the region. The Triad will remain along the western edge of the offshore high pressure ridge, with southerly flow pulling in unsettled weather periodically through the rest of the week while also deflecting particle pollution transport from Canadian wildfire smoke. Temperatures are expected to slowly trend upward as the Triad reverts to hot and humid conditions that were similarly observed throughout much of the month of July. Ozone levels may trend upward with more breaks in the cloud deck each day, but the increased chances of showers and storms should keep ozone AQI in the upper Code GREEN range through Thursday.
