Cool and breezy weather on Thursday will limit ozone development. On Friday, however, hot and stagnant conditions will allow ozone to reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category, particularly in southwestern portions of the Denver Metro area.For areas included in this advisory that are not expected to reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) air quality designation, we request that activities, such as driving non-ZEV vehicles (i.e., gas or diesel), be reduced to lessen the impacts on neighboring air quality. Additional air pollution in this region may directly worsen air quality or contribute to precursors which may also adversely affect air quality.
