The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment have declared Wednesday as a Clean Air Action Day for Allegan, Berrien, Cass, Kalamazoo, Kent, Livingston, Mason, Muskegon, Oceana, Ottawa, St Joseph, and Van Buren counties. This means that you should avoid activities which lead to ozone formation. Such activities are refueling vehicles or topping off when refueling, using gasoline powered lawn equipment, and using charcoal lighter fluid. Positive activities include car pooling, biking to work, delaying or combining errands and using water based paints. It is recommended that active people, and people with respiratory diseases (for example, asthma) limit prolonged times outside. There is also a Heat Advisory until midnight Wednesday Night for Berrien, Branch, Cass, Hillsdale, Livingston, Midland, Shiawassee, and St Joseph counties. Highs on Wednesday will be in the low to mid-90s, with heat indices (how hot it feels) in the upper-90s to near 100 degrees. With dewpoints and low temperatures in the low to mid-70s, it will feel very hot and humid.
