Air Quality Alert issued March 28 at 2:38PM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services in Columbia
SC has issued an Air Quality Alert for Fine Particulates for the
Greenville mountains of South Carolina, until further notice.

High pressure drifting east off the Southeast Coast will continue to
dominate the region through tonight, minimizing dispersion from the
Table Rock wildfire in Pickens County and the Persimmon Ridge
wildfire in Greenville County. Stable conditions and light winds
overnight will enhance the noticeability of smoke in the mountains of
South Carolina in Greenville and Pickens counties. South and
southwesterly flow during daytime hours will help disperse and
transport the smoke across the South Carolina and North Carolina
border.

SCDES recommends that individuals with respiratory health issues
limit time spent outdoors and/or move all activities indoors to
avoid the smoke or fine particulates. Keep windows and doors closed.
Run an air conditioner if you have one but keep the fresh-air intake
closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke and fine
particulates from getting inside. Please note that locations closest
to the wildfire activity are more likely to experience smoke at any
given time. Anytime you see or smell smoke, take necessary
precautions.
