Weather Alert

...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO MIDNIGHT CDT
TUESDAY NIGHT...

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has called for an
Air Quality Action Day for high levels of Ozone in the air for
Tuesday, May 30, for the following Southwest Indiana counties,

Vanderburgh, Posey, Warrick, Spencer, Gibson, and Pike.

This alert is in effect from midnight tonight to midnight CDT
Tuesday night.

An Air Quality Action Day for ozone is issued when a combination of
high temperatures, light winds and other factors are expected to
produce conditions where high levels of ozone emissions may exceed
federally mandated standards.

Here are some recommended actions that the public can take to reduce
Ozone emissions:

* Walk, bike, carpool, or use public transportation
* Avoid using the drive-through and combine errands into one
trip
* Avoid refueling your vehicle or using gasoline-powered lawn
equipment until after 7 pm
* Turn off your engine when idling for more than 30 seconds
* Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air
conditioner to 75 degrees or above.

Anyone sensitive to changes in air quality may be affected when
Ozone levels are high. Children, the elderly, and anyone with heart
or lung conditions should reduce or avoid exertion and heavy work
outdoors.

MCLEAN COUNTY, Ky. (WEVV) — A man was taken into custody after a dangerous pursuit through western Kentucky on Wednesday, according to authorities.

According to the McLean County Sheriff's Office, the pursuit started after deputies tried to pull 31-year-old Cody Alire over Wednesday. They say Alire was wanted for violating parole in Indiana.

Instead of stopping in Livermore where he was pulled over, Alire took off, the sheriff's office says. They say he fired multiple rounds at deputies while they pursued him between Livermore and Island.

The pursuit made its way into Muhlenberg County, where the Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Office says Alire continued to fire at authorities.

After heading into Muhlenberg County from McLean County, the chase went into Christian County where it finally ended with a crash.

No injuries have been reported as a result of the incident.

Alire was arrested and booked into the Christian County Jail. Authorities tell us he faces multiple charges including attempted murder, theft of a vehicle, theft of a handgun, and fleeing police.
