Code Orange Smog Alert for Thursday in Suwanee

An alert issued on Wednesday afternoon for Thursday by Georgia's Clean Air Campaign forecasts the air quality at 116 - which signifies a Code Orange Smog Alert. The alert is for the metro Atlana area and includes Suwanee. This the second alert in as many days and comes at the same time that we are experiencing potentially record high temperatures.

Because of the predicted concentrations of GROUND-LEVEL OZONE, air quality in metro Atlanta is predicted to be "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups."

Health Advisory:  Air is more likely to be unhealthy for more people. Children, people who are sensitive to ozone, and people with heart or lung disease should limit prolonged outdoor exertion during the late afternoon or early evening when ozone levels are highest.
