Residents in the region are encouraged to continue to telework, take transit, drive a hybrid or electric vehicle, or consider active transportation options such as walking, biking, or riding a scooter when possible, to help continue to improve air quality in the region.

Air Quality Forecast and Weather Discussion
Wednesday, an upper-level low pressure system will move through central California, enhancing mixing and producing moderate onshore winds, scattered clouds, and mild temperatures across the Sacramento region. As a result, ozone levels will be Good. Thursday and Friday, as the upper-level low weakens and shifts to the east, slightly warmer temperatures will increase ozone production, and lighter southwesterly winds will reduce dispersion. Therefore, ozone levels will increase to low-Moderate on both days.
