A Code Orange Air Quality Alert for ground level ozone is in effect until midnight.
You can diminish the effects of air pollution by avoiding outdoor exercise or strenuous activity.
Sensitive groups are advised to limit any time outdoors.
AccuWeather’s Dean DeVore tells The Big K Morning Show the alert is not for the fine particulate matter from the Canadian wildfire smoke, but from ground level ozone.
The affects of the Canadian wildfires are expected to impact the area again on Saturday before winds shift and we start to see some relief beginning Sunday.
