Synopsis and Discussion

Air quality levels remain in the YELLOW range as northeast winds hold high temperatures in the upper 60s. A prefrontal southwest flow will edge into the Triad later tonight as a strong cold front slowly slides towards the region. These southwest winds will be gusty for Saturday as AQI levels just hold in the YELLOW range once again. There will be a chance for light showers throughout the day Saturday but the true force of the front won't be here until Sunday afternoon, when thunderstorms swing through the Triad, some of which could be severe. This active weather day should help improve air quality back into the GREEN range as a new air mass slides in over the state for early next week. (Bodenhamer)
