Unhealthy Air Quality To Continue Friday

by CrownHeights.info

The air quality today in Rockland County continues to be unhealthy, with forecasts showing continued unhealthy quality tomorrow.

The red haze and smell of smoke that is caused New Yorkers yesterday to seek shelter is originating from forest fires in Canada and slipping along the Jet Stream of air working its way down the east coast. Despite having travelled thousands of miles, the air pollution is still intense.

New Yorkers have been urged to stay in doors when possible, and if you do have to make your way outdoors, it might be a good idea to take that COVID mask back out again.

The forecast for tomorrow also doesn’t look all that promising with New York State releasing a warning that “The air quality is forecasted to reach ‘Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups’ Air Quality Index levels on Friday in the Long Island, New York City Metro, and Western NY regions.”
