The alert for possible Moderate to Unhealthy Air Quality in
central Nebraska has been updated to expire at noon today
(Thursday). This earlier experation time is due to lower than
expected smoke concentrations this morning. As of 10am Thursday,
some locations are reporting moderate (yellow) air quality, but
any remaining smoke will be pushed out as cold front moves through
this evening.
Alerts are based on data available from weather forecasts, smoke
plume modeling, satellite imagery, and from air quality monitors
located in Omaha, Bellevue, Blair, Lincoln, Beatrice, Grand
Island, and Scottsbluff.
Advisories for smoke and air quality are issued for affected areas
by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and
Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) and posted on agency
webpages and social media sites. By notifying the media and local
health departments, alerts help citizens protect their health by
informing them of days where outdoor activities should be reduced
or avoided to minimize exposure to smoke.
