UPDATED: Outdoor Air Improves From "Hazardous" to "Unhealthy For Sensitive Groups"

Lehigh Valley air quality remained "hazardous" as of 10 AM. The AQI was 309, which is considered Code Maroon by AirNow. At this level, all activity outdoors should be as limited as possible. The AQI was 422 at 3 pm yesterday. 

Air quality in the Lehigh Valley improved from 309 at 10 am to 235 at noon. This is still considered "very unhealthy," but is an improvement.  At 1 pm, it improved to 200. At 2 pm, it improved to 179. This is considered "unhealthy,"  with guidance suggesting reduction of long or intense outdoor activity. By 7 pm, it had improved to "unhealthy for sensitive groups," meaning people with heart or lung disease, older adults, children and teenagers, minority populations and outdoor workers.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
