Summary
A statewide air quality alert is in effect from Saturday morning through Monday noon, driven by rising PM2.5 levels from the north. By Sunday, most areas will hit “Unhealthy” (red zone), with the northeast possibly reaching “Very Unhealthy” (purple zone)—while some southwest spots may see “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups” (orange). If you’re in the red or purple zones, limit outdoor activity, especially if you have asthma or heart conditions. Even healthy folks should shorten outdoor time and head inside if symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue hit. Smoke will spread overnight, so everyone should prepare—stay updated locally and prioritize your health. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
