""The concern there is because of the lighter winds, the air being so stagnant, officials are concerned that this is leading to some poor air quality," CBS News New York's Tony Sadiku reported. "Thankfully, it's not that bad everywhere. Most of the Tri-State is seeing air quality in the moderate range.""
"In addition, a dense fog advisory is in effect for parts of Southern Connecticut, Northeast New Jersey, and Southeast New York from 10 p.m. Tuesday to 10 a.m. Wednesday."
"Otherwise, Tuesday is the "pick of the week," due to the comparatively warm and dry conditions, with temperatures in the mid-40s, the warmest we've been in quite a while. Some clearing is expected which will help drive up the temperatures Tuesday afternoon, and some rain is expected Wednesday. It won't rain all day, but it will become steadier in the afternoon."
An air quality alert is in effect Tuesday for New York City, Westchester, and Rockland counties through midnight due to fine particulates and an AQI of 102. An AQI in the 100-150 range is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups, including people with heart or lung diseases, children, pregnant women, and older adults. Lighter winds and stagnant air are contributing to poorer air quality in some areas while most of the Tri-State remains in the moderate range. A dense fog advisory covers parts of Southern Connecticut, Northeast New Jersey, and Southeast New York overnight. Temperatures will be relatively warm in the mid-40s Tuesday with some clearing, and rain is expected Wednesday, becoming steadier in the afternoon.
