Air Quality Forecasts
The South Carolina Department of Environmental Control (DHEC) - Bureau
of Air Quality issues Ground Level Ozone Forecasts each day between May
1st and September 30th. These forercasts are for the Midlands and Upstate
of South Carolina and the Central Savannah River Area of South Carolina
and Georgia.
The National Weather Service Office in Columbia relays these forecasts
prepared by DHEC on NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts. The DHEC Ground Level

issued around 530PM.
When the DHEC Bureau of Air Quality Ground Level Ozone forecast is in
the "Unhealthy" (Orange or Red) Category, our office relays the

Weather Radio.
