...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has issued a
Code Orange Air Quality Action Day for Ground Level Ozone, until

Sensitive individuals, including the very young, the elderly, and 
persons with respiratory diseases such as asthma, should avoid 
strenuous activities during the afternoon and evening hours. 
Oppressive heat and humidity will continue today, with light 
southerly winds under mostly sunny skies, allowing ozone levels in 
the alert area to rise into the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG)

An Air Quality Advisory means that air quality within the region may
