Air Quality Alert issued March 30 at 1:58PM 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 and Pickens 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. Southerly winds during daytime
hours will help disperse and transport the smoke across the border
into North Carolina.

South Carolina DES recommends that individuals with respiratory
health issues limit time spend 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.
