Area Air Quality Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups

The Washoe County Health District says the air quality is currently unhealthy for sensitive groups.

They say that active children and adults, and people with lung disease, such as asthma, should reduce prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion.

KTVN Meteorologist Jeff Martinez says winds will be gusty again by the afternoon in the 15-30mph range, as a low pressure system tracks across the region, caution on area lakes.
