There is an Air Quality Alert in effect until midnight for Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery and Preble counties, issued by the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission and Regional Air Pollution Control Agency, as smoke from Canadian wildfires settling in the area increases air pollution levels.
Predicted pollution levels are considered “unhealthy for sensitive groups” like children, older adults and people with cardiac and respiratory disease.
Residents can help reduce air pollution by avoiding driving, idling their vehicles, refueling before 8 p.m. or using gas-powered lawn equipment.
Highs will be around 85 degrees today.
The slight chance of rain and storms will continue throughout the night as temperatures dip to around 56 degrees.
Cincinnati and the Tri-State area have the greatest chance for rain, with the Dayton area around 19%, according to NWS. Dayton could get up to 0.1 inches of rain.
[4:40 AM] Today will be another seasonably warm day, w/ some smoke again through the day. The good news is that this smoke should dissipate/move out of the area tonight into Wednesday. Some rain showers are likely near the Tri-State Wednesday AM before more sunshine by the PM. pic.twitter.com/Mt6LxIKRj8
