...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection - Air Quality
Division has issued a Code Orange Air Quality Advisory due to
elevated particulate matter from Canadian wildfire smoke across West
Virgina until 10 PM EDT this evening.

Weather conditions may cause fluctuations in air quality throughout
the day, and some areas may experience periods where the Air Quality
Index (AQI) reaches the 101-150 range (orange), which is considered
unhealthy for sensitive groups.

An Air Quality Advisory means that Fine Particulates concentrations
within the region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. For
