Bad Air and Bad Heat

AQI Forecast - http://www.epa.gov/airnow/today/forecast_aqi_20110630_ky_tn.jpg

Today's air quality index is expected to reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups criteria. Tomorrow's index is also forecast to be in the same category.

Meanwhile, for today, I counted at least 12 states whose NWS offices have issued some type of heat-related product, whether excessive heat or heat advisories.

Also, fire danger is increasing across the west mainly due to dry thunderstorms. Numerous lightning strikes are expected, which should help rapidly spread any field/woodland fires.
