Weather Alert

...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CDT TONIGHT...

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has called for an
Air Quality Action Day for high levels of Ozone or in the air for
today, Monday, June 5th for the following Southwest Indiana
counties,


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

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

An Ozone Alert 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.

Weekend warming up just in time for the big race and the holiday.

Today: TGIF, we made it through the work week! Today's temperatures will hit a high of 78 degrees. We have another bright and sunny sky across the Tri-State. Have those shades ready to go as you make your travel plans for the holiday weekend. Temperatures will gradually drop this evening to the mid to high 50s with a clear sky. Great Star gazing opportunity tonight, get those telescopes out because the stars will be lighting up the sky. 

This Weekend: Its a big weekend ahead with the Memorial Day weekend, and the INDY 500, then we have the long weekend with Memorial Day on Monday. So how is the weather going to affect you and your plans? The weather should only enhance your weekend plans, as temperatures will be climbing into the 80s. We could see some cloud cover move in on Sunday. That will help give some shade from the heat as you're out watching the INDY 500. 

Memorial Day: The long weekend goes into our work week, as we celebrate Memorial Day on Monday. We will see temperatures jump to those mid 80s with mostly clear skies. A great day to grill, celebrate, and remember those we love that served our country. Enjoy your long weekend and check in to 44 news for your forecast as you head back to work on Tuesday.
