The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments has forecast a Code Orange air day for Tuesday, Aug. 27, in D.C., Northern Virginia and parts of suburban Maryland.
Code Orange levels mean the air is unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Air quality levels can vary across the region, COG said in a news release. Residents can check current air quality conditions near them on COG's website or the Clean Air Partners website. Conditions could also be favorable for another Code Orange forecast on Wednesday. Forecasts are updated around 4 p.m. each day on COG’s website.
On unhealthy air days, COG advises area residents to take the following actions:
- Avoid lawn mowing or use an electric mower.
- Use gas or electric grills instead of charcoal.
- Fill your vehicles' gas tank after sunset.
- Take transit, carpool, or work from home.
- Turn off lights and electronics when not in use and follow tips from your electric utility about how to use less electricity to cool your home.
COG, in partnership with the District Department of Energy & Environment and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, provides daily air quality forecasts for the Northern Virginia/District of Columbia region.

Do we seriously now have a Mikhail and Michelle Paulson now? lol
Result of democrat flying their private jets home after the DNC.
What's that? You want more regulations?!
The last time I checked, House Republicans cut a lot of funding to the EPA, which would have addressed the very thing you are whining about.

Absolutely not. Lol. Not sure how you arrived to that thought... oh wait, you are communist. +1 social credit score for parroting socialist Dem talking points.
So you agree that the environment should be destroyed and corporations have carte blanche to do whatever they want in order to maximize revenue?

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
@Mikhail
That'll be the day...
You know, someone else used to walk around with a binder full of pointless links like you do.
Yeah, looks like he's still chuggin right along...
And that same person was actually stationed at Ft. Stewart.
I am so glad that I have rustled so many jimmies that a whopping 4 accounts were made to parody/belittle me.
It proves that I am doing a good job.
We're long overdue a sequel for the "I had a dream speech" relating to climate change...
Trump won't be giving it. He's actually more focused on his opposing competition's schedule and campaign than his own policies and constituency.
Guess that's how losers roll. His base fell in deep...along with the majority of the (R)s.
So long, America!
I bet there have been a slew of tremendous and inspirational speeches that just never got media attention. Indigenous people are getting their voices heard in some deeply practical ways like through the IPCC, but the political will does not exist to take action no matter how deeply needed it is or how deeply hypocritical, especially for the Democratic Party, not acting on those voices is.
It's stupid to politicize an issue this important that is by its nature democratic in that it will affect everyone and morally undemocratic because those polluting the most, those acting from the entitlement of superior force and who have the power to change the direction, are not listening to the ones that will be even more affected and who hold the wisdom for apolitical solutions if the wisdom is applied toward the empowerment of the people instead of toward globalist and oligarchical agendas.
Still completely agree about Trump.
Also, it is great fun that I get to write a version of the future that is based on now.
There can be a speech. It can even be by a robot named Trumpy Bear. [beam]
[lol]
I couldn't say who is more insightful, Dutko or Michelle. I feel so seen and understood, just what voters, and maybe especially women voters, are looking for.
Bots don't have the capacity to "feel"...
Otherwise I'd be in love.
[love]
Enjoy your vote.
According to conservative pundits, women should lose the right to vote. That may explain why Dutko and Michelle are so hostile with their misogynistic comments.
[love]
And thank you.
Which conservative pundits believe women should lose their right to vote? Victor Davis Hanson? Tucker Carlson? Mark Levin? Vince Coglianese? Chris Plante? Mark Stein? Dan Bongino? Who??

LOL, you are so triggered that you kept coming back to post!
Have a good day.
Bubble,
Thanks for changing your name.
I feel flattered.
Are you jealous that Kamala is not a convicted felon?
If “convicted felon” starts polling well I’m sure she’ll start saying she’s one, because she’s authentic.
