Thursday, November 10, 2016, is a code yellow air quality forecast day for the valleys and ridge tops of Asheville and Buncombe County. Unusually sensitive people should consider limiting prolonged outdoor activities.
Please note:
Particle pollution levels in the immediate vicinity of ongoing fires in the southwestern NC mountains may still be in the Code Orange range. In areas of smoke, people should limit outdoor exposure. Sensitive individuals should remain indoors with the windows closed and ventilation systems locked from outdoor air ingress.
