Air Quality Conditions: Most locations throughout the state are in the Code Green range. Particle pollution may be in the Code Yellow range at some locations immediately downwind of active or smoldering wild fires. For a display of the most recent Air Quality Index (AQI) conditions throughout the day, please visit the US EPA's AIRNOW web site. Real-time air quality monitoring data is also available on the NC Division of Air Quality's real-time monitoring data web pages for Ozone and Particle Pollution.   
Morning Edition: The area will be enveloped within deep and moist southerly flow for today. Upper level energy that has helped sustain rainfall with a front moving into the Mountains will lift northward today. The front will slow down and washout over the Mountains and adjacent foothills. The heavier and steadier rain will become lighter and more sporadic in the western half of the state, and only spotty showers are expected in the eastern half of the state. The deep south flow has brought very clean air into the area from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Particle pollution will hover in the Code Green range in most areas, except for some pockets of Code Yellow smoke downwind of active and smoldering wild fires.
