General Forecast Discussion
An early season Canadian air mass has cleaned the air shed of all fine particulates across the CONUS. Expect only a gradual recovery of fine particulate levels as the strong Canadian high pressure gradually translates eastward and slowly dissipates over the Deep South as the week progresses.
Outlook
Expect good air quality through the forecast period.
Extended Air Quality Outlook
The forecast Air Quality Index value for each pollutant represents the highest value expected within each county, so some areas and monitors may see lower values. We use the best information and techniques available to ensure the quality and accuracy of the forecasts we provide to the public. Note that ranges do not include the nine-county Triad region, which is covered by the Forsyth County Office of Environmental Assistance and Protection.
