Light winds and sunny skies are expected to allow ozone levels to reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category on Thursday and Friday. The highest concentrations are expected in locations in and near 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.
