- Five-day air quality forecasts using the U.S. EPA’s Air Quality Index.
- Whether open burning is currently allowed.
- Special Spare the Air forecasts for ozone (voluntary cutbacks on driving, aerosols, oil-based paints, and other pollutants) and fine particulate pollution (mandatory restrictions on wood burning).
