Today's combination of sunshine, light winds and temperatures in the 90s are favorable weather conditions for producing high levels of ozone air pollution in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

What You Need To Know

  • An Ozone Action Day is in effect for DFW due to high ozone levels

  • Air quality will be unhealthy for sensitive groups

  • Wildfire smoke is making skies hazy

Ozone Action Day

An Ozone Action Day has been declared for the metroplex and surrounding areas. If you suffer from respiratory issues, limit your outdoor time.

You can help prevent ozone pollution by sharing a ride, walking, riding a bicycle, taking your lunch to work, avoiding drive-through lanes, conserving energy and keeping your vehicle properly tuned.

Air Quality

In addition to increase ozone, we have smoke from wildfire activity in the western U.S. and Canada brought into Texas.

There is also a very light amount of African dust filtering into South Texas as well as along the coastal bend.

Black carbon, or soot, is part of fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5).
