ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An Action Day for Particulates 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 Wednesday, November 6, 2019. Light winds and stagnant conditions are expected to allow Fine Particulate Matter concentrations to reach levels that are Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups.
