Forecast Discussion: A rather moist and unstable atmosphere will keep ozone concentrations within the GREEN category on this Tuesday afternoon. A frontal boundary will move through the state during the overnight hours. The front will be rather weak as will the N'ly winds behind the front. The atmosphere will dry out in the Piedmont of the Carolinas during the day on Wednesday, but it may take some time for ozone to respond enough to the drier airmass due to residual low level moisture and high soil moisture content. A couple of monitors may hit 1-hour peaks in the low YELLOW category in the Upstate and Catawba during the mid-late afternoon. However, 8-hour averages (for which the ozone scale is designed for) should remain within the upper reaches of CODE GREEN for all zones as a result of residual low level moisture and a clean airmass currently in place. |
