Poor Air Quality Expected Saturday

Another round of wildfire smoke is expected to move into the region for Saturday. According to the latest data, wildfire smoke will begin moving in during the early morning hours, likely between 4 and 6 AM.

Air Quality Health Index values will likely reach the Moderate to High risk category during the day on Saturday. If you have outdoor plans, you may want to consider rescheduling them when air quality becomes poor. Watch for symptoms of air pollution, which may include difficulty breathing, coughing, and throat irritation.

The poor air quality may continue into Sunday as high pressure remains over the area, possibly keeping the wildfire smoke over the region.
