The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission and the Regional Air Pollution Control Agency continued the Air Quality Alert for Montgomery, Miami, Greene, Clark, Preble and Darke counties until midnight.
Levels of ozone within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards, especially for sensitive groups like elderly adults, children and people with cardiac or respiratory illnesses.
Residents can ride-share or use public transportation, refuel their vehicle at a later hour, mow during the evening hours and avoid the use of gas-powered lawn equipment to help reduce air pollution.
An Excessive Heat Watch has been issued for majority of our counties from Monday afternoon to Friday evening. Several days with heat indicies near or exceeding 100 degrees expected. Overnight lows will only drop into the 70s, providing little to no relief. Stay weather aware. pic.twitter.com/5KTVXQgJZg
