...AIR QUALITY ALERT: MANDATORY WOOD-BURNING BAN IN EFFECT...
* WHAT...The South Coast AQMD has extended a mandatory wood-burning
ban for residents in the South Coast Air Basin. The No-Burn rule
bans burning wood, pellets, and manufactured fire logs in any indoor
or outdoor wood-burning device.
* WHERE...The South Coast Air Basin, which includes Orange County
and non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San
Bernardino counties. No-Burn Day alerts do not apply to areas above
3,000 feet in elevation, the Coachella Valley, or the High Desert.
Homes that rely on wood as a sole source of heat, low-income
households and those without natural gas service also are exempt
from the requirement.
* WHEN...Saturday.
* IMPACTS...Particles in smoke can get deep into the lungs and cause
health problems (including asthma attacks), increases in emergency
room visits, and hospitalizations. No-Burn Days are needed to
protect public health when fine particle pollution levels are
expected to be high anywhere in the South Coast Air Basin. No-Burn
Days are based on fine particle pollution levels that are forecasted
for an entire 24-hour period, which may not be reflected in
real-time air quality maps.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
To protect your health, check current and forecasted air quality
levels at www.aqmd.gov or download the mobile app at
www.aqmd.gov/mobileapp. When air quality is poor in your area,
limited extended or intense outdoor activity and remain inside with
windows and doors closed. Run your air conditioner and/or an air
purifier and avoid using devices that bring in outside air like a
swamp cooler or whole house fan if you have other ways to stay cool.

Wintry conditions will wind down this morning, with scattered

the region tonight as skies clear and mountain basins drop into the

Mountain snow returns to most of our mountain passes on Sunday and

mountain roadways across the West Slope. Additional snow returns
midweek. Model guidance is still inconsistent on amounts and impacts.
Temperatures remain on the cool side of climatology through the
period.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is not expected today or tonight, however
