 NOAA
AND EPA EXTEND REACH OF AIR QUALITY FORECASTS
Air quality forecasts produced by the NOAA National Weather
Service and the Environmental Protection Agency have been
enhanced and expanded to better serve more regions of the
United States. Forecast information for ground-level ozone
that has been available for the northeastern United States
will now include areas from just east of the Rocky Mountains
to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Hour-by-hour forecasts, through
midnight the following day, are available online, providing
information for the onset, severity and duration of poor air
quality to more than 180 million people. "Poor air quality
concerns us all—whether living in a city or in the country.
Pollutants can originate nearby or can be carried many miles
from their sources," said Brig. Gen. David L. Johnson,
U.S. Air Force (Ret.), director of the NOAA National Weather
Service.
