There is a new weather alert issued for Tuesday, following storms on Monday. Thankfully, it is not damaging storms, but you may want to take it easy on Tuesday. Air quality is expected to be lower tomorrow due to ground-level fine particles.

Therefore, an air quality advisory has been issued across several counties in Northeast Ohio, including Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit counties. The advisory will be in effect from midnight tonight to midnight Tuesday night.

Air quality levels are expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. This includes children, the elderly, and those with breathing difficulties. Please monitor your outdoor activity and check air quality readings at airnow.gov.
