Sunny and warm today; Air Quality Advisory starts Sunday night

There is an Air Quality Advisory in effect beginning midnight Sunday night until midnight on Tuesday night for Montgomery, Miami, Greene, Clark, Preble and Darke counties, issued by the Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission and the Regional Air Pollution Control Agency.

During this advisory, levels of ozone in the area may approach or exceed unhealthy standards, so residents are asked to help reduce air pollution by:

  • Taking the bus, carpooling, biking or walking instead of driving alone
  • Refueling vehicles after 8 p.m.
  • Avoiding idling vehicles
  • Mowing the lawn in the evening hours and avoiding using gas-powered lawn equipment

Today, it will be sunny during the day and clear at night with a breeze, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington. Temperatures will rise to around 87 degrees during the day, and fall to around 59 degrees at night.

Tomorrow will be just about the same, with sunny skies during the day and a high near 82 degrees, then mostly clear skies at night with a low of around 57 times, all with a light breeze. The Air Quality Advisory begins at midnight.

On Monday, though, the NWS predicts that the wind will still, while temperatures climb to around 85 degrees during the day under sunny skies. During the night we will see more clouds, but it will remain calm with a low of around 64 degrees.
