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.

Cooling down today, How long will it last?

Today: Cooling off today with temperatures reaching only 77 degrees. Almost 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. We will still see lots of sun across the Tri-State area. Great car wash opportunity over the next few days. When that sun goes down, so will those temperatures. Temperatures will drop into the low 50s possibly even high 40s tonight. Significantly than some lows we have seen the last few days.

Tomorrow: Friday may feel like an exact replica of Thursday, With Temperatures topping out around 78 degrees. We will see clear skies again throughout the Tri-State area. Another great sunrise, and sunset on tap for Friday. Low temperatures will climb to the mid to upper 50s for your late evening hours. 

Weekend: Saturday will start heating us back up into the low 80s. It's a busy weekend ahead with the INDY 500 on Sunday, and Memorial Day on Sunday. The good news is we can expect a lot of sun for the weekend, and temperatures will climb into the mid 80s on Sunday and Monday.
