Alerts in force
An Air Quality Alert is issued by the National Weather Service on behalf of a state or local agency when pollution is expected to reach a level that harms health. An Air Stagnation Advisory means the air will not move enough to clear what is already in it.
None are in force near Firing Range right now. All Georgia warnings.

The forecaster’s discussion
Written by South Carolina DES for Aiken-Augusta - SC and GA and filed with AirNow.
As of Sunday mid-afternoon, all forecast zones are trending Code Green for ground-level ozone concentration for the rest of the day. The upper-level low will remain over Florida as the upper-level ridge flattens and continues the trend of hot and humid conditions in South Carolina on Monday. Most of the state should see clear to mostly sunny skies, but areas in the northwest or along the coast could see increases in cloud cover during the afternoon. This is due to the chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms being higher at those locations, but the risk for severe weather will stay low despite the diurnal convection. Temperatures are forecast to slightly rise to highs in the low to mid-90s and lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Winds are expected to start the day as light and variable before developing a light southeasterly flow with speeds around 4-7 mph in the afternoon. The air mass should continue to be mostly clean as the workweek begins; therefore, the ozone forecast for Monday projects the Upstate to peak at CODE YELLOW and all other zones at CODE GREEN.

Category descriptions are the Environmental Protection Agency’s own.
What these numbers are. An index beside a monitor’s name is a measurement, published hourly by AirNow and preliminary until the operating agency certifies it. A category for today or tomorrow is a state or local agency forecaster’s own forecast for a reporting area. An hourly index is NOAA’s air quality model on a five-kilometer grid, not a reading from any instrument. Where a town has no monitor within reach, only the model figures appear, and the page says so.
