...AREAS OF SMOKE AND HAZE WILL CONTINUE OVER PARTS OF THE INTERIOR
OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA...
A MODERATE DELTA BREEZE OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAS RESULTED IN
IMPROVED VISIBILITIES IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SACRAMENTO AND
NORTHERN SAN JOAQUIN VALLEYS INCLUDING THE DELTA REGION. HOWEVER...
SMOKY CONDITIONS WITH OCCASIONALLY LOWER VISIBILITIES ARE EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE OVER THE NORTHERN SACRAMENTO VALLEY...THE SURROUNDING
FOOTHILLS...AND AREAS CLOSEST TO THE LARGER FIRE COMPLEXES INTO
TODAY.
THE SMOKY CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN POOR AIR QUALITY AND PEOPLE ARE
ADVISED TO LIMIT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE
SMOKY AIR...ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS. FOR
ADDITIONAL HEALTH TIPS ON DEALING WITH THE SMOKE...PLEASE VISIT
HTTP://WWW.OES.CA.GOV/HEATWAVE...OR CONTACT YOUR LOCAL COUNTY AIR
QUALITY DISTRICT FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
