WHEN...7/18/2019 4:00:00 PM MDT to 7/19/2019 4:00:00 PM MDT

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An Action Day for Ozone is now in effect for the seven-county Denver- Boulder metropolitan area. Requests to limit driving are now in effect until at least 4 PM Friday, July 19, 2019. Due to stagnate winds, abundant sunshine, and warm temperatures, Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups levels of ozone are likely across the Northern Front Range Urban Corridor on Friday, including the Denver Metro Area, Boulder, Fort Collins, and Greeley. For areas included in this advisory that are not expected to exceed the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) air quality designation, we request that activities, such as driving, be reduced to lessen the impacts on neighboring air quality. Additional air pollution in this region may directly diminish air quality or contribute to precursors which may also adversely affect air quality.
