Air Quality Alert issued April 24 at 5:34AM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Non-Weather Emergency Message. Not sent to IPAWS.

Effective: Fri April 24, 2026, 5:34 AM
Expires: Fri April 24, 2026, 8:00 PM

The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) has issued a Code Orange Ground Level Ozone Action Day for the Upstate region of South Carolina, in effect from 10 AM to 8 PM EDT Friday. High pressure will continue to control the weather over the Southeast states on Friday. High levels of pollutants will persist across the Upstate region of South Carolina. This, along with low humidity, very warm temperatures, and mostly sunny skies, will result in significant ground-level ozone production across the Upstate. An ozone action day means that atmospheric conditions will likely produce unhealthy concentrations of ground level ozone air pollution. A Code Orange forecast indicates that ground level ozone concentrations are expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups, which includes people with lung disease, older adults, and children. Sensitive groups should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion, take more breaks, and do less intense activities, especially during afternoon and early evening hours. You can help prevent ozone pollution by walking or riding your bicycle, taking your lunch to work, reducing idling, conserving energy, and keeping your vehicle properly tuned. For additional information, please visit the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services website at http://www.des.sc.gov/ozone or the Environmental Protection Agency AirNow website at https://www.airnow.gov.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
