Idle-Eddy

Enjoyed my time with the students at Washington Elementary. Idle Eddy, Airon and Alabama Partners for Clean Air appreciates the kindness shown.

Martha Gaskins School always show love to Idle Eddy. Dr. Blackmon and staff are on point with educating great students.

Covid may have stopped in person visits/presentations but technology sidestepped that issue. We now have activity sheets that may be downloaded from www.idle-eddy.info

Wednesday: CODE ORANGE AIR QUALITY ALERT FOR OZONE! High pressure will be the dominant weather feature for the Birmingham area. This will create dry conditions and mostly sunny skies. High temperatures will reach the upper 80s. Winds will be southerly at 5-10 mph. The combination of sunny, dry, and hot conditions are expected to push Ozone into the orange range(unhealthy for sensitive groups), which will trigger the issuance of an Air Quality Alert. A morning inversion is expected to develop, which could spike PM2.5 concentrations for several hours but overall for the day will be in the yellow range (moderate). ML
