Air Quality Advisory
The ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ has suspended all outdoor activities for Wednesday, June 7th. More information provided by the EPA and CDC can be found by clicking the title link: Air Quality and Outdoor Activity Guidance for Schools. Check the air quality daily at .
Our area is currently under an Air Quality Advisory due to dozens of large wildfires in Quebec-Ontario producing copious amounts of smoke and current atmospheric conditions. According to the area's favorite snow-day predictor, Ben Noll, "The highest concentrations are expected between 1:00 - 6:00 pm today, Wednesday, June 7th. The peak is expected around 2:00 - 4:00 pm, when the air quality index reaches above 151, qualifying as “unhealthy” according to the . Sensitive groups should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion; general public should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion."
His forecast predicts, "While there will still be some smoke in the air on ¶¹ÄÌÊÓƵ, it will be much less dense than on Tuesday and today, especially later in the day. From Friday-Sunday, smoke concentrations look light to occasionally moderate at this time. However, smoke concentration forecasts are subject to change based on the behavior of the fires and predicted wind flows. A southerly wind shift on Monday should at least temporarily blow the smoke away from the Hudson Valley."
