An Air Quality Action Day for Ozone has been declared for today, June 6. ⚠️

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.

High pressure will begin to push offshore today, allowing for steady southwesterly winds, high temperatures lingering in the mid 90s, and partly sunny skies.

As a result, ozone levels will remain elevated in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) category along the I-95 corridor and in central and southern New Jersey. Levels of fine particulates will remain in the Moderate category statewide.
