...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's
Air Quality Action Day remains in effect for the following counties:

Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Essex, and Union,

until 11 PM EDT this evening.

An Air Quality Action Day means that Ground Level Ozone within the
region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. Sensitive
individuals, including the very young, the elderly, and persons with
respiratory diseases such as asthma, should avoid strenuous
activities during the afternoon and early evening hours. Partly
cloudy skies, accompanied by light surface winds and high
temperatures, will create a favorable environment for ozone levels
to rise into the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) category in
northern and central portions of the state. Lingering Canadian
wildfire smoke may also help to enhance surface ozone levels.
