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.

Authorities in Henderson, Kentucky, searching for an escaped killer

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEVV) — Police say the search for an escaped convict is expanding in Henderson.

Just after 2 p.m., the Henderson Police Department sent out the latest update on the search for escaped Ohio inmate Bradley Gillespie.

According to HPD, federal and local authorities will be conducting a neighborhood canvas on the north end of Henderson.

HPD says that through the canvas, authorities will be going door-to-door to speak with residents.

Anyone living in the area that has an elderly relative or neighbor who might not be able to answer the door for authorities is being asked to check on them. If you're unable to reach them, HPD asks that you call 911.

The manhunt for Gillespie has been underway since early Wednesday morning, after he reportedly fled from officers after crashing a stolen car.

At the time of the escape, Gillespie was serving a sentence for a double murder. 

If you see Gillespie, you're asked to not approach him and call 911 immediately.
