Surface low pressure, currently centered over the Upstate on this Tuesday afternoon, continues to circulate clean air into the Palmetto State with all monitors held down into the clean green category. By Wednesday, the low will pull northeast out of the region towards coastal sections of the Mid-Atlantic. In its wake, sourcing continues to look clean for tomorrow. Despite drier air and more sunshine for Wednesday, ozone concentrations once again will be held down in the code GREEN category with only slight increases expected over Tuesday.
