The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has issued a Red Forecast Air Pollution Action Day for Thursday July 16th for the AirNow AQI forecast sectors of Rockford and all 6 Chicago area forecast sectors. This is in addition to the ongoing Chicago Area Air Pollution Action Day in effect today. This Red Forecast Air Pollution Action Day is declared due to a forecast of Unhealthy-Red category particulates and or ozone on Thursday July 16th. Northern IL is expected to be on the edge of a thick plume of surface smoke moving in from the north and cleaner air to the south. There is some uncertainty in how far south the smoke progresses and the durations of poor air quality as this dividing line may meander in and out of Northern IL late Wednesday night thru Friday. With this in mind, those with air quality concerns or outdoor plans are encouraged to check current NowCast readings or sign up for EnviroFlash alerts on AirNow.gov Unhealthy - Everyone should reduce prolonged activities or heavy exertion outdoors. Active children, older adults, and people with pulmonary or respiratory disease such as asthma should avoid prolonged activities or heavy exertion outdoors. Area residents are urged to reduce pollution levels. Air quality forecasts, current air quality, and tips on how you can reduce your emissions can be found at www.airnow.gov Media Contact...

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.
