“Air quality levels will be unhealthy for sensitive groups during this period,” according to the National Weather Service. “If you are in the sensitive groups category of children, the elderly and those with breathing difficulties, please monitor your outdoor activity and check air quality readings at airnow.gov.”

It’s also suggested to drive less during the advisory hours, refill your tank after sunset and wait to mow the lawn.

Temperatures will stay hot again Wednesday with highs in the upper 80s. There’s also the potential for some p.m. storms.
