Air Quality Alert Thursday, August 25

Rising temperatures and humidity, coupled with a slow or non-existent breeze will allow surface ozone amounts to rise to levels that are unhealthy for sensitive groups. This includes children, the elderly, and anyone with heart or lung conditions. Anyone who falls into one of those groups, should avoid strenuous outdoor activity Thursday.
