In addition, high temperatures and sunny skies across the West will further enhance ozone production. These conditions will produce Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups AQI levels throughout parts of southern and central California and Las Vegas, Nevada.

NOAA and the Environmental Protection Agency established the awareness week to remind Americans of the importance air quality forecasts can play in their daily lives.
