Saturday, June 6, is a code yellow air quality forecast day. Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting prolonged outdoor activities. This forecast is based on ozone levels.
For the ridge tops of Asheville and Buncombe County, it is a code orange air quality forecast day. Air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups. Children, active adults, and those with heart or respiratory disease, including asthma, should limit outdoor activity. This also means that open burning will not be allowed Saturday. Burning trash and other non-vegetative material is always prohibited.
