The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has forecast an Air Quality Action Day (AQAD) for Tuesday in Southeast and Southwest Indiana.
Ozone levels are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range (Orange) in the following areas:
Southeast Indiana, including the cities of: Brownstown, Corydon, Jeffersonville, Madison, New Albany, Salem, Versailles and all other cities within the area.
Southwest Indiana, including the cities of: Bedford, Bloomfield, Evansville, Huntingburg, Mount Vernon, Paoli, Princeton, Rockport, Tell City, Vincennes and all other cities within the area.
Continued unseasonably warm temperatures combined with low humidity, sunny skies and light wildfire smoke is expected to contribute to elevated ozone levels that are forecast to reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) range in the Southeast and Southwest Regions.
