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)
Health warnings of emergency conditions. The entire population is more likely to be affected.

Forecast Discussion: High pressure off the Mid-Atlantic coast will bring in warm, humid air from the south and west. This along with abundant sunshine will lead to a quick rise ozone levels, particularly along the I-95 corridor. Expect high Moderate AQI values along the I-95 corridor Thursday with generally low Moderate expected elsewhere. Warm temperatures and plentiful sunshine will persist into Friday as high pressure remains offshore. With some residual layer buildup anticipated from Thursday, ozone levels will begin to flirt with threshold high Moderate to possibly USG along the I-95 corridor. Conditions will be monitored closely. A weak frontal system will push through the region during the afternoon hours Saturday. More in the way of cloud coverage along with lower weekend emissions will keep ozone concentrations in check despite continued warmth. Generally low Moderate AQI values are expected across the state. -MDE
