AQI: Good (0 - 50) AQI: Good (0 - 50)
Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.
AQI: Moderate (51 - 100) AQI: Moderate (51 - 100)
Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
AQI: Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101 - 150) AQI: Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101 - 150)
Although general public is not likely to be affected at this AQI range, people with lung disease, older adults and children are at a greater risk from exposure to ozone, whereas persons with heart and lung disease, older adults and children are at greater risk from the presence of particles in the air.
AQI: Unhealthy (151 - 200) AQI: Unhealthy (151 - 200)
Everyone may begin to experience health effects members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects.
AQI:Very Unhealthy (201 - 300) AQI: Very Unhealthy (201 - 300)
Health alert: everyone may experience more serious health effects.
AQI: Hazardous(301 - 500) AQI: Hazardous (301 - 500)

Forecast Discussion: More clouds than sun is expected Tuesday. This along with unseasonably cool temperatures will keep ozone concentrations in the Good range across the state. A bit more sunshine will break through the clouds Wednesday as temperatures rebound to more seasonable levels. A slight uptick in ozone concentrations is expected, but will likely remain in the Good AQI range due to a very clean residual layer. High pressure will quickly move into the region for Thursday. Ample sunshine will return, but with a clean northerly flow, ozone concentrations are only forecast to reach threshold Good to low Moderate. –MDE
