Air quality officials issued a health notice for air pollution in the Charlotte, Triad, Triangle and Rocky Mount metropolitan areas on Thursday as well as high altitude locations near Asheville. Forecasters have predicted Code Orange conditions, which means that air quality in these areas is likely to be unhealthy for sensitive groups.

This forecast means people who are sensitive to air pollution should avoid moderate exertion outdoors in the afternoon. Sensitive groups include children and the elderly who are active outside, people who work or exercise outdoors, and those with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other respiratory ailments.
