For 9/22/2018
[ The forecast is updated daily by 3:30 pm EDT. ]
We should see all zones finish at CODE GREEN for ground-level ozone this Friday afternoon. We can expect mostly sunny skies again on Saturday, as the high pressure system to our east continues to influence our weather and slowing the frontal system in the nation's mid-section from making any progress eastward. Ozone levels should be lower at the onset of the weekend, as background levels outside of the urban areas remain generally low. Thus, we can expect all zones to remain at CODE GREEN for Saturday.
