12/1/16 Morning Air Quality Update



The Air Quality Forecast for 12/1/16 remains unchanged:


Air Quality Conditions: Code Green conditions are being observed at all monitors across the state. 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: Cool and dry weather under clear skies are being observed in the wake of a departing frontal boundary. Winds are steady out of the west and northwest and will be through the rest of today under sunny skies. Localized Code Yellow conditions remain a possibility today in the Asheville area, which will be downwind today of any ongoing fire activity in eastern Tennessee. Otherwise, a clean air mass will be in place and Code Green air quality is expected across the rest of the state today. No changes to the forecast are needed at this time.

USFS Addendum:  We are anticipating the hourly Air Quality Index (AQI) to be classified as Good for the communities we have been forecasting in western North Carolina and northeastern Georgia.
