For 7/7/2022
[ The forecast is updated daily by 3:30 pm EDT. ]
Most regions are currently trending code green on this Wednesday. For Thursday, more of the same is expected, except atmospheric moisture/humidity will increase even more, making it the dominant feature to help suppress ozone formation. Regardless, a typical summertime afternoon/evening storm cannot be ruled out, which would only further reduce concentrations. Therefore, all regions should be CODE GREEN.
